Print Edit WE by DW-dev
Review by Larry
Rated 5 out of 5
by Larry, 9 years agoUsing the old Print Edit. Went to this due to Firefox screwing us over with their new code, making old add-ons incompatible. This new version is worthless. No edit capability I can find, which is the reason I added it in place of the old version which doesn't work like it used to. I have tried adding and deleting it several times, tried all combinations of options I can think of. If I allow "preparing" it locks up Firefox.
REVISED REVIEW AND RATING!!!
Received follow up info from developer and along with deleting another add-on that appears to have been interfering with Print Edit WE; there are a couple of non-intuitive things that have to happen. You MUST add the Print Edit WE icon to the toolbar. With the old Print Edit I went directly into Print Edit from Firefox Print Preview. With Print Edit WE you click the Print Edit WE icon. If you go to Print Edit WE Options and enable the “Skip prepare stage ...” option. It then goes directly into the edit mode in a new tab. If you don't enable that option, you have to click the Print Edit WE icon again when it changes to also say "EDIT". You will still be taken to a new tab. The Print Edit WE toolbar is now inside the tab window at the top. To print without this toolbar showing up in your print, click the Print Edit WE icon and the toolbar disappears.
Kudos to this developer for his help and assistance in leading me back to the functionality I was used to having. Print Edit was the easiest and best add-on I had found for use in Firefox. Print Edit WE matches up with the old Print Edit extremely well.
I use Print Edit WE to clean up articles and tips from woodworking web pages (and other sources) to create a pdf file using CutePDF Printer and to save these web pages to a folder without having the possibility of the web page being no longer available a few years later. I had had some web pages saved from probably ten years ago in an obsolete (?) format that was hard to open, and some I never could open..

Developer response
posted 9 years agoPrint Edit WE has nearly all of the editing features of the original Print Edit.
If you disable the 'Skip prepare stage...' option, you will need to click on the toolbar button, and then (when the 'PREP' badge appears on the button) click the button again to start editing.
Please provide the following information:
- Which operating system are you using?
- Which version of Firefox are you using?
- Which other add-ons do you have installed?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Crook.Style, 18 days agoIt does what it says, the only reason I don't give it 5/5 is the interface isn't great and the Save As HTML doesn't work for me - keeps saying to update the extension but I have the latest version / plus automatic updates toggled on for it so not really sure what that's about. But yeah otherwise, nice way to clean up webpages prior to saving / printing.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19993609, 19 days agoJust what I needed! I only needed to print a list of modified files from a PR, and this extension helped me a lot.
Thank you so much! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19975823, a month ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Imota, a month agoEverything is wonderful until you start printing. Once you start printing nothing is wonderful. This thing will not let you print your pages as you expect. Limitations are everywhere. Also, it cannot save your article in PDF format.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 5814175, a month agoI really like this app to achieve better print outs than with using the standard preview. But similar to the in-built screenshot function of firefox, it often fails with capturing a chat session with a LLM correctly and only saves the pdf of what is currently on the screen.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Kryzalin, 10 months agoText within dropdown items are no longer printed with Firefox 142.0 for me.
Also, it would be nice to know a location to report extension issues besides in a review. - Rated 5 out of 5by numbchild, 10 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by random name generator, a year agosimple and easy to use. does what it says on the tin.
especially great for when people send you emails with messy formatting and you need to print them out for paperwork purposes.
very basic knowledge of html is recommended to use it to the full potential, but the ui is well-designed enough for anybody to use it, with or without html knowldge. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13443993, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by SM, a year agoDoes the job as expected. It is easy to select different parts of the page and print only what's required. I like that fact that it does not require a reload of the page, either when clicking the extension or when closing it down.
I would love an 'auto' function that gets rid of stuff automatically, and the user can tweak further if needed (or undo).
It would be more helpful if the buttons & functions had a small tooltip description about what each sub-component does.
If both these are available already, then they need to be highlighted more obviously. Perhaps a (skippable) mini-tutorial when the extension is installed. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18939808, a year ago
