Hi
I am not aware of any way to do that natively (without an addon) in Firefox.
Although I do not do it very often, Print pages to Pdf is a useful addon, if you want to capture important details from a page and store it as a *.pdf file (as a booking receipt for example).
I appreciate that on some occasions, some display elements may not port across, but please appreciate that many web pages are not designed to be printed out on paper, let alone a *.pdf file.
Why does Firefox not have a built in option to save a webpage as a pdf file? I have tried all the addons but none of them work properly. Mozilla should build this into the browser themselves and not leave it up to addon developers who obviously cannot get it right (they only get it half-right).
if you use the Google Chrome browser, you don’t need to install any extra piece of extension or plugin to save any webpage as PDF. Chrome’s built-in print feature has an option to save any web document as PDF without actually printing it. you can then save the PDF document for any future purpose and printing as well.
Surely Firefox can do the same as their competitors!
Hi
Not everyone wants or needs that functionality, so it is not included by default, but is possibly kept under review and may be included in a future release.
Current releases have a setting in the toolbox settings to add a button to the developer menu bar to take a full page screenshot.
The (default) file name is "Screen Shot yyyy-mm-dd at HH.MM.SS.png" and the file is saved to the Downloads folder. You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and have access to the developer tools.
You can save a complete web page as a PNG file with the built-in screenshot command that is part of the developer toolbar (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Developer Toolbar; Shift + F2).
Some examples:
help screenshot screenshot fullpage_screenshot.png --fullpage screenshot fullpage_screenshot.png --fullpage --delay 5 screenshot --fullpage --clipboard true
