User reviews

Users appreciate that the Print Preview add-on adds a convenient print preview option, especially on pop-up windows lacking this function, and includes a helpful 'simplify page' feature to improve print formatting. The extension is easy to use and allows customized shortcuts. However, in the latest Firefox versions, its functionality sometimes duplicates the default print dialog, reducing its uniqueness. Some users report instability with the print preview command disappearing from the context menu and miss the removed 'simplify page' feature, impacting overall utility.

Pros

Provides a convenient print preview option in the context menu, especially useful for pop-up windows that lack native print preview functionality.
Includes a 'simplify page' feature that makes pages more printable and easier to format.
Allows assignment of custom keyboard shortcuts for print preview functionality.
User-friendly and easy to use, fulfilling a need not addressed directly by Firefox's default print dialog.
Quickly addresses and fixes reported issues, showing responsive maintenance.

Cons

In recent Firefox versions, the extension sometimes does not provide different functionality compared to the native print dialog (Ctrl+P).
The 'simplify page' feature has been removed or degraded in newer versions, reducing usefulness.
The print preview command can disappear from the context menu intermittently, requiring users to toggle options to restore it.
Lack of integrated keyboard shortcut options beyond the default ones, with some reserved combinations unavailable.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Print Preview requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
