I can't provide a concrete example, but we use Oracle E-Business Suite where I do IT support and most of the generated reports in PDF format have this issue where the Adobe plug-in, with the 'Auto portrait/landscape' setting selected on the Print dialog, will automatically print these reports in landscape as our users expect. The native PDF viewer in Google Chrome also automatically prints them in landscape. PDF.js version 0.7.28 (Firefox 20), however, prints these reports in portrait.
Hello, Got the same problème, windows 7 SP1 x64, and aurora 28.0a2 (2014-02-02). Using http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/planning/howto/landscape_plan.pdf the printing is in protrait.

This is the resulting printing of a landscape pdf with aurora 28.0a2 (2014-02-02).
It's using the last state of portrait or landscape as chosen in Print Preview. Instead of clicking the print button on the pdf.js toolbar you can press Alt-F-V to use print preview, then select portrait or landscape. Can the pdf.js toolbar be customized to add a print preview button?
A pdf open through Firefox internal previewer with only landscape pages should default print layout to landscape and print correctly. Instead - with FF 45.0 (but even on 44.0.2 and 43.x) a PDF with all (just one, in my test) pages in landscape is shown correctly in landscape, but is printed on portrait since when I click on the print icon on the top right header toolbar of the preview, the popup windows with the printing options has "Portrait" as layout default...

Firefox 76
We frequently have documents created with both landscape and portrait oriented pages contained in the one document - example:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qZPXsI-k0-C-C6CiNbto-ixnQorLwKAA/view?usp=sharing

In firefox, this prints the portrait page correctly, but shrinks the landscape page to fit it's width into a portrait page:

In chrome, this prints correctly:

I think this was fixed by https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/13120. Jonas, can you confirm?

Yes, I'd say so since the examples above WFM now.

Let's call this fixed then.

I think the only two remaining issues are:

  1. the PDF preview could be nicer, so the landscape pages are actually shown in landscape orientation;
  2. when printing to PDF, the page is rotated.

I'm going to file two separate bugs for those.

I think the only two remaining issues are:

Isn't the issues here (at least partially) that we'd need to use e.g. @page rules, but I'm not sure how well supported that is in Firefox nowadays, to inform the printing back-end about the actual size/orientation of each page?

Yes, I think that will be the "final" solution (filed bug 1795258).
