Thunderbird
In Mozilla Thunderbird, go to Edit > Preferences, select the Advanced panel, select the General tab, and click Config Editor.
Search for print_to_filename and adjust the property.
You you fill confident, search for print. and change other settings as well.
I've changed:
print.print_paper_nametoiso-a4
print.print_paper_heightto297
print.print_paper_widthto210
Firefox
Just open about:config page and search for the same settings.
You don't have to restart the applications to use the new settings.
Units
There are several measurements used in the settings, like print.print_paper_height or print.print_paper_width.
To use millimeters, set print_paper_size_unit is set to 1. To use inches, set print_paper_size_unit is set to 0.

Print to File. Dialogue box look for the 'Save in Folder' drop down and then choose the location you would like to save it, if its not listed click on the 'other'. Simple really.
