    Can't take a screenshot of open dropdown menu options.

    Decent addon, but it could be _much_ better:


    (1)
    Disable animation and popup for faster performance - there are better ways to indicate progress without impacting performance which animation and popup does degrade performance.


    (2)
    Trying to screenshot in AMO, or most other browser-internal pages results in the following error message:
    "This page is restricted and cannot be captured."

    However, this is not truly the case, as Firefox's default, builtin screenshot tool "Control-Shift-S", actually _does_ allow capturing of AMO and most browser-internal pages.

    So, this is clearly not a restriction that cannot be overcome, and so, this should not be a feature-restriction of this addon.


    (3)
    Add a feature to screenshot _all_ tabs in a window - much like the same feature offered by "Save Page We" and "SingleFile" addons.

    This is a feature that fireshot provides, but this a proprietary extension and also requires an external helper application to do this work, and this is also a feature that the user needs to pay for by purchasing a Fireshot license.

    So, this feature, if properly implemented, could truly distinguish this addon from other competitors - making it the best screenshoting tool for firefox.

    Thank you for your feedback. I don't believe the capture popup significantly degrades performance, but I agree that it does not provide the most elegant user experience. As for the page restrictions, currently Page Saver WE is prevented from injecting its page capture JavaScript code into some pages. We will investigate why Mozilla's capture tool is less restricted. Finally, thank you for the suggestion about capturing all open tabs in a window. Please email us at support@pearlcrescent.com if you are willing to tell us more about how such a feature should work and how you would use it.

    Screenshot is cut into pieces of 30000 pixels height each. Why? PNG size limit is beyond 2000000000 pixels. But may be a great option if there is another practical limit.

    But it doesn't stitch together the screenshot seamlessly. All of the document can be read, but there is a visible line every something-hundred pixels.

    The 30,000 pixel limit is a consequence of the Firefox APIs that Page Saver uses to capture images of webpages. But they should be stitched together seamlessly. I am sorry for that problem. We have received a few reports of this problem recently but not everyone is experiencing it. Please contact us via email to support@pearlcrescent.com so we can debug the problem. Providing info about your environment (operating system, Firefox version, etc.) will help us.

    Thanks for using Page Saver. Some web apps and pages use embedded scrollable frames or div elements which Page Saver cannot detect and scroll to capture the contents but I am not sure if that is the problem in your specific case. Please contact us by sending email to support@pearlcrescent.com so we can help.

    1° With this page : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/pagesaver-we/, i have the error : "Unable to capture page: internal browser pages cannot be captured" !?
    2° it misses the ability to save as pdf instead of png or jpeg, as with pdfit (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfit/)

    The "internal browser pages cannot be captured" message is caused by Mozilla's restrictions that prevent add-ons from accessing certain pages, including those at addons.mozilla.org (we plan to improve the error message).
    Since most modern operating systems provide a "print to PDF" feature, we do not plan to add that capability to Page Saver.
