Rated 5 out of 5
by Peter Thorpe, 9 years agoLong time use of the printedit functionality i'm glad there is a webextension version to keep using it, great work.
One thing as a user I found odd was the prep phase. So I pressed the printedit button that opened a new tab and it said PREP over the icon. I expected this to automatically change when printedit was done processing. You actually have to press the printedit button again to go to edit.
I would think if possible it would make sense to automatically change from prep to edit without user intervention.

posted 9 years agoThe preparing [PREP] stage is an intentional part of the design of Print Edit WE.
However, for those users that don't need to use the preparing [PREP] stage, there is a new "Skip prepare stage ..." option in Print Edit WE 20.0.
With the original Print Edit add-on, it was possible to create a perfect replica of the original web page in the editing window, including any adjustments made by the user, such as selecting an internal tab within the page.
With a WebExtensions add-on such as Print Edit WE, it is not possible to make a replica of the original web page (including any adjustments made by the user) in the new editing tab. Therefore, in the preparing [PREP] stage, the user has the opportunity to make any desired adjustments to the web page befores starting editing.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Kryzalin, 9 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, 9 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by random name generator, 9 months 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, 10 months 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
