Rated 2 out of 5
by HonestReviews, 2 years ago12-21-24: partial image only works on ffox. slow. bogs down or freezes laptop on long pages, no warning. Sometimes requiring reboot.
8-8-24: Only allows user selection of portion of page on Firefox-will not work on other browers it's all of nothing then. Frequently cannot deal with long pages and freezes your pc. Slow.
4-24-24: gotten worse instead of better. Author could not fix the problem with not being able to select portions of a page so now you have NO CHOICE you get the full page whether youwant it or not. Because the author can't program his way out of a paper bag, that's why. SLOOWWWWW not infrequently freezed your computer without any escape. More junkware addons.
12-28-23: Reduced to two stars. Developer doesn't have the skills to ensure that capture SELECTION is available and program auto captures entire page whether you like it or not. This results in your computer freezing up because program cannot deal with overlimit memory usage-no warnings no way to escape except reboot. BADBADBAD! Amateur hour. Works well on small pages but is exceedingly SLOWWWW. Nuf said.
7-4-23: update:
another addon that works about 60% of the time. Rest of the time it is TOO SLOW and you cannot reliable scroll save screenshots as it is unresponsive or too damn slow to respond. Especially bad with the crap browser tor or any page you want to scroll several pages. Hard to determine when to stop the scroll. Key shortcuts work better than mouse clicks for this. Good idea but like most extensions not implemented well. Takes too long also to download the image and save it. Not a flexible way to set a unique download folder for this.
update 4-7-23: doesn't work on tor browser with long page. you sometimes get "infinite page detected, stop load?" But then the stop load doesn't work and you cannot save anything. SLOWWWW SLOWWW, take a coffee break while your waiting for this junk addone to load. Only works on short pages.
works but SLOWWWWW. Especially slow when making pdf file, painfully slow.
5-2-23: Still mostly not working on tor browsers with longer pages. When it DOES work it is painfully slow. Can't wait all day for it to complete. Doesn't work at all on earlier versions of tor browser. So far NO GOOD total screen capture available, they all suck.

- Rated 5 out of 5by mcglk, 6 days agoThis works exceedingly well; I especially like that it saves the visual representation in a PDF (unlike trying to "print" it to a PDF). Recommended.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18836439, 8 days agoIn the free version all links in PDF lead to their side. Therefore useless.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18653884, 12 days agoWhat a great extension! I use Fireshot almost daily and am grateful for its ability to capture really long passages of text.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tobias, 12 days agoWhen my PC crashed, I had to reinstall Windows and my key was lost.
When I wrote to support, I received a 30 day code!
Even after several emails, there was no response.
CAUTION ! - Rated 5 out of 5by kRel, 14 days agoMi piace, è utile, funziona bene. Peraltro la versione gratuita offre molto. Spero che non venga utilizzata per scopi illegali

- Rated 5 out of 5by Frank, 18 days agoFireshot isn't perfect, but it's darn close. I'm saving a bunch of websites to PDFs and haven't found anything else that works as well or as easily. I had to install a (free) add on program to get it working well for the URLs I needed to save. The extension will tell you if and when you need the add-on and handle almost everything to make it happen.
One teeny-tiny glitch: there's an option to automatically save the result to PDF. The resultant PDF started fine but turned into a "redacted" version about halfway through. So I use a two step process: Step 1: Process and save. Step 2: Convert to PDF.
There's also some glitchiness in susbox's add-on description. There's some html in it that Firefox didn't process properly and left as html. (That won't make sense to most of you, but the net is that you should just ignore parts of the description that look strange.)
I'm a (now retired) professional programmer. This application is really spiffy and I'm impressed. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17842795, 20 days agoQuite the nifty and easy to use screenshot extension. No fuss and no fluff.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Vitor Madeira, 25 days agoDe todos os captadores de área das páginas que tenho vindo a testar aqui nas extensões do Chrome, este está a ser o melhor de todos.
Para receber as cinco estrelas, só falta uma opção para alterar a qualidade das imagens .JPG exportadas, pois o tamanho resultante de cada ficheiro está muito grande.
Obrigado. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18645539, 25 days ago
