Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 14022672, 8 years agoAnother user who can't use it after the Firefox upgrade to 60.0 and keep getting the "cannot be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 60.0" message.
I did the following and I still cannot get Fireshot installed
1. Removed Fireshot from Firefox addons as you suggested
2. Closed and reopened Firefox, tried to install Fireshot and still get the incompatible message
3. Rebooted computer, opened Firefox and tried to install Fireshot and once again still get the incompatible message.
How do you do a manual extension update check as you suggested to another user.
Please get this sorted as I've tried a few other screenshot addons and they are hopeless compared with Fireshot when it works well.
UPDATE: I installed Fireshot 0.98.94.11 following anonymous user 7756d5's suggestion and Fireshot is once again working in Firefox for me. Many thanks for the suggestion :) And I've updated my rating as well :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19635866, 25 days agoThanks for writing clean, functional software. A life raft in this ocean of mediocre platforms. This is a great tool.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18599696, 25 days agoCapture selection allows multi-page capture as PDF or PNG. A wonderful quick way to save webpages.

12-11-25 - I've been using this extension for nearly a year now and overall I'm satisfied with its performance. I have three major problems that prevent me from giving it 5 stars:
1) The dev insists on printing "Captured by Fireshot" and "Get Fireshot" on every single page of your finished PDF! There is no way to disable this obnoxious advertising! It's an insult to customers who paid for the pro version to have that unnecessarily cluttering up their PDFs and wasting ink when you need to print the pages.
2) The finished PDF sizes are ENORMOUS. For example, a recent pdf I saved from Reddit resulted in a 3 page file that is 2.9MB! This is insane considering that I saved the exact same pdf using Vivaldi's FREE built-in "print to pdf" feature and that pdf is 5 pages and just 366kb! One of my largest Fireshot pdf files is a 205 page Reddit post that resulted in a 219.5MB file! My average Fireshot file size is about 50MB and I save up to one hundred per day, so this is a big problem for someone like me.
To be fair, Fireshot's resulting PDF looks more accurate compared to what you're seeing on the screen (Vivaldi's shrinks the first Reddit post to half of its actual width for some reason, which adds more pages to the finished file), but that accuracy doesn't matter when you're saving thousands of pdfs per week because Fireshot's huge pdf file sizes really add up! Now I have to add the cumbersome step of compressing dozens of pdfs per day with an external app to my workflow. Extremely annoying!
3) Fireshot has an obnoxious nag screen that auto opens after you've saved a certain number of pdfs. The only purpose of that nag screen is to pester you into leaving a review! It's unacceptable to nag your paid "Pro" customers to leave a review on top of your already obnoxious branding on every saved pdf page!
For a free way to save to pdf, you'll have to switch to another browser if you're on a Mac (you can save to pdf on Firefox for free too, but the finished pdfs are untitled). I recommend Vivaldi if you must used a Chrome-based browser for this; just remember to tweak your privacy settings and use the UBlock Origin extension and other privacy-protecting addons.
After one solid year of using Fireshot to print to pdf, I've decided to switch to Vivaldi as my daily driver simply because these 3 major Fireshot issues have made saving to pdf on Firefox too cumbersome and annoying. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19616311, a month ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by eeptyoopty, a month agoSave to PDF option downloads a .exe file, which seems sketchy. otherwise, high praise!

- Rated 5 out of 5by OnyxBKLYN, a month agoI've used FireShot for about 2 years to copy selected elements of pages for future reference. I particularly like the different options to capture either all or part of a webpage & the options to save to different formats.

- Rated 5 out of 5by micjohvan, 2 months agoIncredible add-on! I used it to capture comic books from Comic sites that block you from right clicking to "save as" on the pages. Works like a champ!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17447711, 2 months agoIt works great. The only annoyance is that it updates very frequently, and every time it does, it pops up a new announcement about the next time you go to use the app. But that's a very minor thing.
