I would like to disable warning "Purge may change page layout ... ... Do you want to purge elements in this page?". How can I do it.

Sorry, 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

What would we do without this Add-on? Print unwanted content...

I am so grateful for the ability to save the cleaned up page as a PDF.

page breaks is not working with firefox 56.0 (64-bit)
( SHIFT and #)

l like this add on

I'm not happy with new Print Edit WE as compared to the old Print Edit. When I try to edit a web page, not all of the page will disappear when I highlight and Delete Except, etc. I can't seem to get the edited part to move to the top and to the left. I end up with a lot of dead space on top and on the left, which makes it basically unusable. Also, I have Yahoo mail. I used to be able to pull up the print page from yahoo mail, then "Print Edit" from the new print page. I realize there is a ""Format" option, but it's in a format that non-techies like me can't understand. Also, the "Delete Except" unrestricted seems to wipe everything off the screen. I'm using Firefox 56.0 (64 bit).

Cool

Some objects / icons on the page are buggy, they don't show up on print preview. Some functions are missing / broken. Web Style function does not seem to work. I honestly don't understand why it has to reload the web page on a new tab to start editing, as some sites do not allow this (reloading a page conflicts with current active session).

It's pointless to write all the issues here, because this add-on used to work just fine, and i got my job done at some point. Compare to non-WE version, this add-on is simply useless, as in "no better than the browser's built-in print preview". All i want is to keep everything same from the non-WE version, but no. What happened?

Much less intuitive than old version. I found left click on the icon seemed the easiest way to go. One problem I've not been able to solve is that the print preview and thus the printed version has the editing boxes across the top. (Select, Hide, Delete ....etc)

Edit: Tried it again and the boxes not there.
FF56.0 (64 bit) Rating 5* Thanks for rapid response

great

When editing a page, only the option to save as HTML is available.
When suspending the editing of a page (SUP), the menu disappears, so the print preview can not be accessed

My first experience with the WE version - trying to save its add-on page as a PDF - was very disappointing, to say the least. And that's why I've given it a very "ordinary" 3 star rating.

But before getting the timely warning that the old version of Print Edit ("PE") won't work with the upcoming Firefox version 57.0, and for more than a year since first discovering it, I've used PE every time I've wanted to save a web page, rather than just its URL - so maybe up to a dozen times a day. PE is far and away the best tool I've found for this purpose.

Just as well I haven't uninstalled the old version yet, so I had already used PE to create a "ready reference" PDF of the Print Edit WE add-on page. This page was the first time I've seen a clear explanation of what "Text Pieces" is for (but that might just be my bad, for not looking in the right place sooner).

Now, I can't wait for Firefox 57.0, which may at last fix the horrendous memory leaks we've been experiencing for at least nine months. But please tell us WHY can't Print Edit WE work to document the following special pages for Firefox:
. >>> about:, moz-extension:, addons.mozilla.org <<< .
(and similar pages for Chrome)?

Still great functionality, but have to agree with the earlier review that the multi-step process is a pain in the neck. I read the developer's response to the post but it adds unneeded (in my view) complexity to what was a seamless edit/preview/print process in the prior version of the add-on.

An addon everyone really needs.
This said, with this new WebExtensions version, the UI of this addons is REALLY confusing. I certainly do not like the two/three step method at all. I rather prefer the 'old' interface of the classic Add-on version instead of this strange and non-intuitive WebExtension version.
Uninstalled, and went back to the classic version.... :(

(going to disable updates on FF56 anyways)


EDIT, after reply from creator:

- I really do not see the need for a (forced) prep-stage... If I want something to prep before printing/editing I would have done that already on the page itself, before activating the print edit, because that is what I would like to print edit. It is a useless step and unfortunatly can't be 'disabled'.

- Duplicating the tab: I could live with that, but I rather want to go directly into the dedicated print preview window from the File menu, like before. Makes much more sense and has less steps to go thru.

- Also, I could Print Edit any previously saved page before with the classic version. So, no benefits there either.

- The only benefit I see with this new approach is that you're able to edit multiple pages at the same time. But that is something I never have the need for and thus never do.

Conclussion: compared to the classic addon, it has far more downsides than improvements for me. Still I appreciate the effort and skills though!
If you would re-introduce the File>Print Edit again, to go directly to the dedicated print preview window, I might reconsider.

das alte AddOn war auch in Deutsch (kommt vlt. noch in der neuen Version)
beim alten AddOn haben sich die Fenster dem Design angepaßt (kommt vlt. noch in der neuen Version)

Firefox 56 Print Edit doesn't work (OK work.... my mistake)

Please, can I know why these permissions are requested?

- Access browser tasks while browsing,
- Files download...

Why?

Thanks.

I'm really counting down when mozilla share drops down from 6% to less than 1. They can shove v57 quantum up their aass.

This addon worked perfectly earlier (v56 n prev. v). Now not only it is unbearably slow starting up, it saves the webpage as corrputed pdfs.

REPLY TO DEV.:

I'm using Firefox 57.0b3 (32-bit) on Windows 10 Pro version 1703 build 15063. I've been a long-time user and fan of this addon and I'm doing exactly what you described but the saved page as pdf turns out to be a corrupted file such that Adobe Reader/Firefox/Chrome fails to open/read it.

Thank you for replying. You are a great dev and have been of great help all these years.

With the previous Print Edit i could save data as HTML. Now i can only print what i also can do without this app.

This app works great on windows, but not on ubuntu linux. It only saves a blank txt file on ubuntu linux. Any idea why? The windows version is fine. Will update to 5 stars if the linux version is fixed. However it may be a problem with the browser and not the app.

Update: I am using Firefox Beta on both windows and ubuntu.

Following the update to v19.3 there is a problem with the toolbar button becoming unresponsive after the first click to enter the "preparing" stage, thereafter it is only possible to continue with "editing/suspend editing" by right-clicking on the button and using the context menu.

I LOVE this extension. Still, here are two small bugs, which I noticed:
1) Before the bug: The webpage "begins" below the Print Edit Toolbar (when in edit mode) which is good so that the Print Edit Toolbar dos not cover the top part of the webpage. BUG: However, when I do a "delete except" then Print Edit Toolbar all of a sudden *does* cover the top of the page (the page kind of "slips" up under the toolbar at the top). All other editing actions (afai tried) did not make the toolbar cover the top of the resulting page.
2) When I do a print preview, I also get the print settings dialog, which is not needed at that point and only in the way of having a good look at the preview.

Is is useful! And Great!

And 'Print Edit WE' (e10 compatible) is a life saver!

User friendly, intiuitive addon. I use it to clear the cutter before saving web page as PDF (Adobe Acrobat)

Ability to use selectors, and even select multiple ones at once (using SHIFT) - is extraordinary!
