Status: New idea

I've been looking around for options to save a page as, PDF format. But many of them break the page apart, or split images into parts of pages. Even the Printer option to "Save as PDF" isn't very good. So I'm wanting to suggest Mozzilla might want an option for a Properly saved PDF, that ensures that you get exactly what you'd see on a Firefox Tab. Not a Stack of pieces that jump around on the pages like some PDF tools do.

Similar idea but for mobile: Firefox Android - save page as pdf and quit button location 

@Dragonorder18 just to confirm, your idea here is for Desktop correct?

That's the general idea. with a tool for the desktop App.  As the Extentions and attachments I've browsed tend to break the pages rather aggressively. Screenshots are only limited to how big you can frame the windows, and you often don't want other details showing. So if you want to make a PDF that feels at least close to the flow browsing a webpage itself, there's almost no tools or extension that works with firefox. Trying to use the "Print to PDF" option fails too. If there was some that at least makes minimal breaks that still show it's a PDF copied from the webpage, that's fine, but I just think people would appreciate a tool that doesn't make breaks that are 5-6 inches apart and makes a terrible flow.
