The print font is gigantic when printing gmails only. How do I reset the size of the font when printing a gmail message only.

Only when attempting to print a gmail does this occur, but the print size is so large that it takes 3-4 pieces of paper to print something that should be a short half page. Font must be about a 48 size.

orange Firefox button > Print -> Print Preview

Use the Scale control to change the "print" type size to what works best for you. Note that once you change the scale Firefox will remember that setting for the next use of printing.

This prints the page with the gmail border visible (the complete page) rather than just the message, (which I get by using the print icon inside of gmail), but at least the type scale is readable. Thanks!
