    I made the switch to Firefox 55 and the "multiprocess/WebExtensions" and the old Page Saver was keeping me back. I tried so many alternatives and they all sucked. Then I found this one and so far its the best. My only two complains are 1: I wish I could save the screenshots to my desktop instead of the downloads folder and 2: I wish the full page screenshots would work in the background instead of having to wait for the page to scroll and stich them together. Otherwise it seems to work very well! Thank you!

    Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, Firefox's implementation of the WebExtensions API only allows saving to files within or below the configured download directory. If you want the Page Saver image files to go to your desktop, you will need to change your downloads directory within your Firefox preferences.

    Scrolling to capture an "entire page" image is clearly not as good as grabbing the entire page without scrolling. When we created Page Saver WE, it was not possible to capture without scrolling. However, recently Mozilla has made additional canvas APIs available to WebExtensions which may allow us to avoid scrolling in the future.

    I tested Version 3.0.21 (Last Updated: June 22, 2017)
    on Firefox 54.0.1 (32 bit) on Windows 8 with 3.5 GB memory.
    It installs Ok.
    The first page I tested it on was a small reddit subreddit.
    It captured the page and opened a save page dialog to save the capture as a PNG file. This worked.

    The second page I tested it on was 4chan's Comic and cartoon catalog, not particularly large with small thumbnails.

    This also worked, the webpage is longer at 11000 pixels and I noticed the capture took longer.

    Note it captures any hover regions as you would see them yourself when scrolling down a page.

    I tested it on four more pages, largest size 2.8 MB, smallest 53 KB.

    I've been a long time user of the older Pearl Crescent Page Saver, and was looking for a new saver for my new firefox profiles, and this fits the bill.

    EDIT: I further tested changing the File name pattern to "%t %Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S" - to get finer-grained timestamps - and this worked.

    * can take visible portion
    * can take full page
    * full page is real full page even if the page has a header area that stays if page is scrolled - many other screenshot tools cannot handle that
    * has options to configure

    - cannot select regions to be captured (please add this feature)
    - no keyboard shortcuts
    - page needs to be scrolled (do tue web extension?)

    - missing option to capture only a region
