Firefox:
-
Navigate to the File menu to find Page Setup.
-
Select Format For and then click Any Printer.

Choose the correct paper size.

- Select Manage custom sizes at the bottom of the Paper Size menu.
- Change the name by single clicking on "Untitled". We recommend changing the name to something you will remember, such as "4x6".
