- Rated 1 out of 5by perlancar, 'n maand geledePros: can scroll Protected PDF on the Google Drive when the builtin screenshot tool or other addon can't.
Cons: The hard sell to the Pro version is too off-putting. Especially this bullshit dishonest statement: "Only a small part of this page can be saved *due to browser limitations*. You can use FireShot Pro to save the entire page to PDF". So it's my browser's fault that the whole page cannot be saved, but if I upgrade to Pro, even using the same browser, the page will be able to be saved? Are we supposed to be dumb to accept that statement?
Uninstalled at the end. I will search for other addons that can do Protected PDF scrolling. - Rated 1 out of 5by Zachary, 2 maande geledeEvery time I go to take a screenshot the extension opens a new tab trying to sell me the pro version. If I see it one more time I'm going to throw my laptop in the river and move to the wilderness.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18218893, 4 maande geledeWarning: Clickjacking scam / stealing private data via counterfeit links. In the generated PDF all links are replaced with links going to `getfireshot.com` with base64 encoded original links. If you click the link, you are redirected to the original link, so you won't notice. However `getfireshot.com` will get all your private tokens that were present in original links - e.g. tokens in links to private google drive documents, etc. Addon reported and deleting it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Luckspeare, 4 maande geledeFrequent updates force a pop-up on you when you try to use the extension -- it shifts focus to a new web page it opened. It's really annoying and disruptive. If I want pop-ups, I'll download free Mobile apps. I've brought it up to the dev's attention, but he just insists it's reasonable. Not to me, it isn't. Frequent pop-up nag screens are a price of using this software. Disrespectful practice. Uninstalled.
- Rated 1 out of 5by okok, 5 maande geledeits useless. the built-in print of browsers are even better than this. It ask payment or Pro to print. It also doesn't screen capture the whole page as page by page, only the screen.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14518921, 6 maande geledeIt just shots the part of the page you see on screen. No scroll down possibilities.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17786639, 6 maande geledeAfter the last update FireShot took away the premium features i paid for. It is now useless to me as I need to be able to use selections, not just the full page
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tape, 7 maande geledeTrash. I'm of the sort who have hundreds to thousands of tabs "open" at once. Half the time I click this extension to take a screenshot, it opens a new tab with update notes at the very end (as if I'm interested); when I close down that tab, the browser focuses on the last tab in my list. Now I need to scroll back 2000 tabs, because your plugin, as I said, objectively is absolute trash. Fix your s***.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17970086, 8 maande geledeUnnecesary. The built-in screenshot tool should cover this
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ron, 8 maande geledeUsing it for a long time, now it says my "trial" has expired and won't let me use it. I never signed up for a trial. Just tried adding it again, says NOTHING about a trial and I get the same thing, won't let me use it until I PAY for an upgrade. Scam it now is.

- Rated 1 out of 5by BlackDog, 'n jaar geledeDie neue Version 1.11.25 funktioniert nur wenn ich cookies zulasse.
Ohne cookies passiert gar nichts, ausser das der balken bei "hör auf zu erfassen" keinen fortschritt anzeigt wenn man es beenden möchte.
Die alte Version 1.11.18 und auch alle anderen versionen davor haben problemlos ohne cookie zulassen funktioniert.
The new version 1.11.25 only works if I allow cookies.
Nothing happens without cookies, except that the bar at "stop capturing" does not show any progress when you want to stop it.
The old version 1.11.18 and all other versions before that worked without allowing cookies.Developer response
posted 'n jaar geledeHello. We're really confused with your report. FireShot does not require cookies. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13754958, 'n jaar geledeUnfortunately the free version is no better than the Screenshot that comes freely available with Firefox. For more, you need to upgrade to the paid Pro version.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15260004, 'n jaar geledeSpying on you. All links in PDF are redirected getfireshot.com . Test it yourself and see. Removed. Using the built in screen capture in FF found in customized toolbar instead which does not steal your info
- Rated 1 out of 5by Reviewer, 2 jaar geledeI had been using this plugin for a long time till I realized something quite upsetting and potentially quite evil. This programs turns all links in a document to redirects.
The problem is that those redirects go via https://getfireshot.com/ - in other words - they (fireshot developers) have the ability to capture all links you click from any document generated with fireshot.
Can you imagine how bad this is? For example, google docs documents, links which have embedded passwords or tokens, dropbox links etc. - if you click it, they have it.
There is also zero good reason for capturing this highly sensitive information.
Fireshot developer(s) - please explain yourself! And immediately stop this practice.
I suggest people report this add-on for abuse. - Rated 1 out of 5by M Kwong, 2 jaar geledeThe feature set seems great, but unfortunately it did not work consistently on my machine. Most of the time it entered the capturing stage and just got stuck there.
