by geoffb, 7 years agoFolks, RELAX!!! It's not the developer's fault!!!
Firefox 57 is brand new, and it's likely that the disappearance of the clipboard feature on this add-on is the result of the not-yet-complete WebExtensions API. Other add-ons, take DownThemAll for example, are delayed or missing features because the API doesn't offer all of the functions that the old XUL API had. Mozilla has said that they're working on this stuff!
There's an important rule with free software: If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces!
Patience! :-)
Review: This is a brilliant plug-in. I only discovered it around 6 months ago, and not a day has passed without me using it since. It's everything a good plug-in should be: small, efficient, well designed and completely functional with no unnecessary junk. I'm very pleased that the developer has ported it to WebExtensions! Thank-you!
OK, now, a reward for folks who read this far! There are Lightshot apps for both Windows and Macintosh. It looks identical to the Firefox plugin, it works on the whole desktop not just the browsers, AND IT HAS THE CLIPBOARD FUNCTION!

- Rated 2 out of 5by OK, a year agoНа windows 11 работает с глюком масштабирования. Если нужно левую верхнюю часть отскринить, то еще как,то а иначе нет смысла в этмо приложении. Если хотим отскринить футер или скажем берем большой лендинг, например https://leihmutterschaft-zentrum.de/ то большая часть сайта недоступна для скрина. Решите пожалуйста вопрос. Очень нужный плагин

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18190451, a year agoSó tem a função de printar uma área selecionada (sem opção de página inteira ou só área visível, a não ser que faça isso manualmente), por outro lado, tem opções interessantes de edição.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12340338, a year agoA trash add on, but since some mental midget chose to give it one star due to anti-Russian propaganda, I gate it 5. : )

p.s. Simple and useful feature. Just what I was looking for. Everything is working. - Rated 4 out of 5by Cherwally, a year agoWorks very nice, awesome plugin!
Thanks a lot for sharing!
But there are 2 features that will improve it so much more...
Can you please implement a scroll-shot?
I mean a screenshot of a full webpage when a part is not visible without scrolling?
Saving as PDF choice would be such a great option! - Rated 5 out of 5by Dina, a year ago
