This is a little roundup showing some initial movement toward using the new API among the Firefox57-tagged extensions. I'm sure I'm missing things, but this took long enough already. ;-)

Uses the built-in saveAsPDF() function (Firefox 56+ on Windows and Linux):

• Page To PDF version 1.0.0
  • Offers access to numerous page settings via toolbar button, with Spanish and Norsk/Dansk localizations
  • Site: Not available
• Print to PDF version 0.1.0
  • Offers access to PDF page settings (e.g., margins, scaling) through the Add-ons page
  • Site: http://mybrowseraddon.com/print-to-pdf.html
• FoxyTab version 2.9
  • Multifunctional extension adds numerous commands to the tab right-click context menu
  • No feature to vary default page settings
  • Support: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/support-foxytab/11518

Uses an online service:

• PDF Mage version 1.1.1
  • Sends the rendered page content to capture it as you see it (raises some privacy concerns)
  • Site: http://www.pdfmage.org/
• Print Friendly & PDF version 2.2.0
  • Includes feature to modify the appearance of the page before generating the PDF
  • Site: https://www.printfriendly.com/
• Web to PDF version 1.3
  • Converts based only on the page URL and not the rendered page content (may not look the same)
  • Site: http://html2pdf.it/
• Convert WebPage To PDF version 1.0.5
  • Converts based only on the page URL and not the rendered page content (may not look the same)
  • Site: https://sidson-aidson-pdf-server.herokuapp.com/
• PDF Creator version 0.4.3
  • Converts based only on the page URL and not the rendered page content (may not look the same)
  • [ADWARE] Includes monetization feature: Extension Privacy Page

Not a direct PDF converter:

• PDF editor online version 1.0.3
  • Adds a command to the right-click context menu for links to load the linked page into an online document editor from which you can export to PDF format
  • Site: https://www.offidocs.com/
• PDF editor PDFOffice to edit and create PDF version 1.3.5
  • Adds a command to the right-click context menu for links to load the linked page into an online PDF editor
  • Site: https://www.redcoolmedia.net/index.php/web-online-productivity-apps/pdfoffice-pdf-editor-online-adobe
• Easy PDF Converter version 1.0
  • [HIJACK?] Replaces the new tab page with a PDF conversion service website

To me, the presence of conversion tools for Mozilla is, quite the contrary, way poorer than for Chrome, as I see. And I’m not talking bout crappy ones. I prefer to use the online apps for such purposes, this one by PDFfiller as well: https://edit-pdf.pdffiller.com/ I need such a thing just for case of editing reports and filling forms, so its features are fine enough. But speaking of add-ons for Firefox directly, PDF editor online hands down the very best one

This thread is about add-ons for converting the currently displayed web page to a PDF. I don’t think the site you mentioned does that.

Looks like there’s a new one and it’s from Adobe supposedly: PDF Print & Save

For a new roundup as of June 2020

Just what I was looking for, thank you.
Though I have to say, I did not read further than " My own extension" and installed yours.
