- Rated 1 out of 5by Brimstone, 7 years agoNo longer works on MAC OS with Firefox 58 update. Locks up the page I am trying to print. Has become useless. Excellent product prior to Firefox 58 update.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 7024602, 7 years agoWorked very well until Firefox 58.0.1 came out. Now it's broken (at least on macOS).
- Rated 5 out of 5by Grey-Black-White, 7 years agoI am using this instead of Print Friendly & PDF because it allows you to edit the page on the same tab and every edit happens on your browser, rather than your page being uploaded some server, which is the case in Print Friendly & PDF. This add-on is also very easy to use and does what it promises without any problems.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Azman, 7 years agoExcellent. Just play around with it for a while to get the expected output. Once you are familiar, most web pages can be output just the way you want.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Alex, 7 years agoHi,
I've been looking for a Mozilla Archive Format replacement for a very long time. I was even going to write my own.
However, I found your perfect extension. It's superb! I am very grateful to you for your efforts.
I ask you to make some improvements.
Please add the option 'add an information panel to the saved HTML page' in the options. There is a link to the original url on the pdf-document pages. There was a panel at the top of saved .maff pages. Could you optionally add a similar panel for the saved HTML pages?
Here's how the saved .maff page looks like:

I also noticed that the page elements marked for deletion remain in the saved pages.
Such elements are hidden by 'display: none' style. I ask you to add the option 'do not leave in the saved html page items marked for deletion' in the options page.
And really delete them before saving.
Thanks again for the great extension!Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe 'Save As HTML' feature in Print Edit WE is based on a subset of the features in my Save Page WE add-on. Save Page WE can be used with Print Edit WE if you need more advanced save features. All you need to do is to click on the Print Edit WE toolbar button to suspend editing, and then click on the Save Page WE toolbar button to save the edited page.
Save Page WE has an option to include an information bar to the saved page, similar to MAF.
Print Edit WE never really deletes HTML elements. This is by design and is not going to change. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13343420, 7 years agoits just ok. it does not edit as good as print edit add on / extension.

[edited] giving 4 stars for developer's prompt advice which really helped me. thank you :-)Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis problem is caused by a long-standing bug in Firefox that only allows the first page (or first few pages) of some web pages to be previewed or printed. If you disable Print Edit WE and then use ‘File > Print Preview’, you will see that the problem happens without Print Edit WE.
However, you can use the ‘Fix Page Breaks’ command (on the 'Tools' button menu) in Print Edit WE to work around this Firefox bug on many web pages. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13387831, 7 years agoThanks for improvement of 'WE' version. I was waiting for coming back 'fix page breaks' feature. I can get whole page again.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Sean Ryan, 7 years agoA very useful extension.
*** Feature Request ***
Add an Option: "Toolbar button initial action" 1) Edit 2) Preview
Currently the initial view is always Edit, but I'd prefer Preview because I'll only want to edit after I see how the default printout appears. On a simple page, I'm likely to to move straight from Preview to Print without the need to Edit. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13694987, 7 years agoAgree with the comments about Version 21.0. The ability to edit on the same page is what I loved about the original Print Edit. I'm glad this was fixed to now work with the new Firefox. Many thanks again.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12825085, 7 years agoWhen the updated version of this program was originally implemented, there were MAJOR problems. At that time it was doing the exact opposite of what I needed it to do. It would lose the information I wanted to save/print, but it would hold on to the superfluous info. I would have wanted to delete. I am happy to report that the problem has now been corrected. This version so far seems to have added the updates without having lost the useful features of the "legacy" version. Thanks for fixing the issues that took place when the update was initially implemented. Great work.
(Just one thing though - I seemed to have run into a glitch recently when I used the program - one that I see was mentioned by "Anonymous user 6ac49b". It will sometimes print things that don't appear on the page when you look at the preview prior to printing.) This was the first time it happened. So I'm hoping it was just a one-time occurrence. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13691037, 7 years agoClean implementation.
Allows you to edit a page, save the result as either html or pdf or print it.
Only issue is that it will sometime try to print things that don't show up on the page.
You can get around this by delete except and/or editing the html after saving it though.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6126471, 7 years agoExtremely useful, if one wants to keep a "soft-copy in time" of a certain page without the clutter around. Formatting features allow text to be well presented, too.

posted 7 years agoPlease try Print Edit WE 21.0 which has been substantially re-desiged- Rated 1 out of 5by 18HopeCSF, 7 years agoComplete and absolute crap: Each time you try to use it, it creates e new tab with the page you just opened, refreshing all the page and erasing all the information it had. If you want to print a page with no info it's OK, not spectacular but OK.
I suppose it has to do with the firefox update, but the previous addons was far more reliable and useful.
