Print Edit WE by DW-dev
Review by Larry
Rated 5 out of 5
by Larry, 7 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 7 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.
