unfortunattely print edit add on no logner supporting on mozilla firefox.Respuesta del desarrollador
publicado el hace 7 añosPlease could you explain why Print Edit WE is not as good as Print Edit. - Se valoró con 3 de 5por Usuario de Firefox 13549423, el hace 7 añosGanz ehrlich: Print Edit war einfach besser! Unkompliziert und machte das was ich wollte!
Die neue Version für FF 57 macht mich nicht (hoffentlich noch nicht!) glücklich. Zu umständlich, die zu bearbeitende Seite geht in einem neuen Tab auf, wenn ich diesen Tab nach erfolgreicher Druck-Aktion wieder schliessen will, muss ich das in einem Alert-Fenster zuerst bestätigen...
Gewisse Seiten lassen sich erst gar nicht mehr bearbeiten...
Ist zwar immer noch besser als nichts, aber ich wäre wirklich sehr dankbar, wenn die einfache Funktionalität der alten Version wieder zu haben wäre!
Danke für die Arbeit, ich schätze das kostenlose Tool ja grundsätzlich sehr!Respuesta del desarrollador
publicado el hace 7 añosPlease try Print Edit WE 21.0 which has been re-designed. - Se valoró con 3 de 5por Usuario de Firefox 12312529, el hace 7 añosPrint Edit was far much better. This one is not bad, but it is not better. I'm generous: I give three stars... But...

publicado el hace 7 añosPlease try Print Edit WE 21.0 which has been re-designed. - Se valoró con 3 de 5por Usuario de Firefox 13528986, el hace 7 añosI loved the old Print Edit and used it numerous times daily selecting Web Style to print online receipts. With the new WE version, when selecting Web Style for the edit, all information a receipt should contain is blank. I now have to use the snipping tool to print what I need and it takes so much longer I must rush so the page does not time out.
Another "new and improved" that is just new and the opposite of improved. - Se valoró con 3 de 5por iji, el hace 7 años

- Se valoró con 3 de 5por oldFox, el hace 7 añosThe 'old' Print-Edit was for me one of the most useful and accomplished FF add-ons. Given the reviews here I have NOT (so ignore the 3 stars - just entered as a neutral rating because field is required) tried the WE version because it is obvious it has some significant problems but it is also equally obvious these problems stem not from the add-on developer but from FF itself, as the FF developers increasingly lock down FF into a sort of paranoid uber secure - well, what? FF used to be all about the ability to customize it to one's liking but that ability is all but gone. I'm seriously thinking about what other browser to use (WIndows) but the field is limited and unattractive: Chrome (bloatware), IE (thanks but no thanks), etc.
Which leaves FF. So isn't the thing that we should be berating FF for its regressive changes rather than having a go at Print Edit's developer, who is doing his best under trying circumstances not of his own making?
Oh, and by the way, any FF supporters out there who say the current FF is better and/or why would I not want a more secure FF: the answer is I want adequate security, not Fort Knox.
Edit: DW-dev: thanks for your response. Seems I can't add a response under yours so mine will have to go here, as an edit. The three stars remain because, as I said, the FFFs (roll your own on what the third F stands for) require an assessment so I went for average/neutral.
My 'review' was more about WE = less functionality and flexibility and applies particularly to valuable but complex add-ons like yours, hence saying it here.
A bit of background: I was trying to edit your code to see if I could get the Save PDF button to send the edited html stream to wkhtmtopdf, with a view to achieving the Holy Grail of saving an edited page with active embedded links (which wkhtmltopdf can do, at least for unedited pages). I know this has come up before, and your reply if I remember was that saving to PDF was a secondary function and just used an internal FF PDF routine to do the save. I then came up against the FF xpi validation/signing restrictions and decided life was too short, even though there is a way of disabling signing verification by using two short js config files. But doing that probably really does leave the doors open to all sorts of nasties.
I currently use a custom button to send the url of the page (so it's the whole page) to wkhtmltopdf and it outputs a tolerable or better pdf with active embedded links over 90% of the time. But it is always the whole page, so often there is unnecessary bloat. If Print-Edit could do the same thing with the edited html that would be truly awesome!Respuesta del desarrollador
publicado el hace 7 añosA reasonable assessment without trying Print Edit WE !!
Looking at all of the reviews, the negative points raised were:
1. Two-stage initiation sequence. Option to skip preparation stage in Print Edit WE 20.0
2. Duplicating original tab may lose some information. Necessary for integrity.
3. Page Breaks shortcut key (#) not working. Fixed in Print Edit WE 20.0.
4. Preview button didn't work. Fixed with Firefox 56.
5. Save As PDF didn't work. Fixed with Firefox 56.
6. Fix Page Breaks command missing. Will be added in next version.
7. Cannot edit Mozilla Add-ons web pages. Mozilla restriction.
8. Permissions. The original Print Edit had greater permissions.
Points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 have been fixed. Points 7 & 8 are facts of life. - Se valoró con 3 de 5por Ricardo, el hace 7 añosWhen 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 accessedRespuesta del desarrollador
publicado el hace 7 añosThe 'Save As PDF' menu command is only available with Firefox 56 or later versions.
The 'Preview' button on the Print Edit WE toolbar will switch to the Firefox print preview window, if you are using Firefox 56 or later version. Otherwise it will open the Firefox Print dialog.
When you click on the toolbar button to suspend editing, the Print Edit WE toolbar should be removed - that is the whole point of suspending editing!
Print Preview can be accessed by right-clicking on the toolbar button, or by using File > Print Preview on the Firefox main menu bar, or by putting the Firefox Print button on the toolbar. - Se valoró con 3 de 5por Yo Yo!, el hace 7 añosMy 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)?Respuesta del desarrollador
publicado el hace 7 añosPrint Edit WE uses the new Firefox WebExtensions API's, which are the same as the Chrome extension API's.
These API's do not allow extensions to perform certain types of operations on a few pages, which are either browser administration pages or web store pages, specifically:
- about:
- moz-extension:
- https://addons.mozilla.org
- chrome:
- chrome-extension:
- https://chrome.google.com/webstore - Se valoró con 3 de 5por dpdapper, el hace 7 añosStill 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.

publicado el hace 7 añosPlease try Print Edit WE 21.0 which has been re-designed. - Se valoró con 3 de 5por Bambus, el hace 7 añosdas 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) - Se valoró con 3 de 5por BeBBo, el hace 7 añosPlease, can I know why these permissions are requested?
- Access browser tasks while browsing,
- Files download...
Why?
Thanks.Respuesta del desarrollador
publicado el hace 7 añosAccess browser tabs - to allow the page Title and URL to be accessed.
Access browser activity during navigation - to allow detection of navigation to a different page, so that the toolbar icon can be faded if it is a special page that cannot be edited.
Download files - to allow the Save As HTML and Save As PDF menu commands to work.
