by Firefox user 13330898, 7 years agoSorry, but I haven't even downloaded Print Edit WE, because I don't think Mozilla, as an independent organization which is keen on personal security/privacy, should be asking for all these permissions:
******************
Permissions
Some add-ons ask for permission to perform certain functions (example: a tab management add-on will ask permission to access your browser’s tab system).
Since you’re in control of your Firefox, the choice to grant or deny these requests is yours. Accepting permissions does not inherently compromise your browser’s performance or security, but in some rare cases risk may be involved.
This add-on can:
Access your data for all websites
Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history
Display notifications to you
Access browser tabs
Access browser activity during navigation
********************
If/when the permissions are cut to ONLY those strictly necessary for printing the page you're on, I might reconsider

Developer response
posted 7 years agoLegacy add-ons, such as the original Print Edit, had greater permissions than Print Edit WE.
The permission messages that you see when you install an add-on are generated by Firefox. These permission messages are based on the permissions specified in the add-on manifest file. These permission messages are broad-brush and do not give a detailed insight into the operations performed by an add-on.
In summary:
- Print Edit WE only asks for the permissions it needs to perform its functions.
- Print Edit WE saves the configured options in your Firefox profile on your computer.
- Print Edit WE (when you use Save As HMTL or Save As PDF) saves the page you have edited in the location you choose on your computer.
- Print Edit WE does not send any data to the developer or to third parties.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16978199, 24 days agoIt only produces zero-byte empty PDF, nothing else.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Asdrubaletto, 2 months agoEccezionale. Non posso più farne a meno per salvare pagine sfrondandole di tutti gli elementi inutili e rendendole molto più chiare e semplici da leggere.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Heisenberg, 7 months agoWhile this is a very important add-on for my web / news archiving, I have encountered a great number of issues over the past few versions.
In this current version, I spend a lot of time refining the print layout only to have it stop responding, which requires me to reload the webpage and lose every tweak I spent time on.
In this and previous versions, some webpages randomly shift the edit boxes, making things like adjusting font size difficult, as the checkbox to activate the intended tweak is shifted up or down a few boxes.
I've noticed some webpages reload after a set amount of time, rendering the editing process precariously challenged by time limits, as it yields a blank white page during the editing process on such pages. It would be nice if PrintEdit could include configuration to suspend any running scripts or otherwise put the page in a static mode while editing.
Some edits don't make sense. How do I get my bulleted lists back? Changing the font size or margins and poof, bullets be gone.
Again, my use is for archiving purposes, particularly when webpages either get edited or are otherwise removed. Typically I don't need photo-exact reproduction, but I do need content-accurate archiving and ideally in a neat print-form.
Plenty of bugs, but seriously, it is one of my essentials. Please do keep up the good work. This review is NOT indended to push people away. It is simply a snapshot in time on what I'm experiencing with it. - Rated 4 out of 5by de_mihab, 7 months ago
