Highlighting a web page then saving printing?

[markg2]

I've never had success with addons, or at least the ones I've tried in the past, that are supposed to let you highlight sections of a website webpage, then have those highlights 'stick' when you either print or save the page(s).

Is there an addon that does this with reasonable intuitiveness?

Moving this to Firefox Support...

Copying just a section of text should work without an extension or add-on by highlighting the text and with a right click hit the copy in the popup menu.
If the text is in an image you would have to right click on the image and use save image as. .
If it is an area of the page with a mix of images and text you may have to right click with the cursor in an empty area and select save the page which triggers . . .
. . . a panel with options for what to save in the lower right of the panel.
You could then print after saving.

Not sure if this helps but this snipping tool in Windows helps me in a number of cases....

I had to set the following option to get the highlights to stick.

File > Page Setup > Format & Options > [check] Print Background (color & images)
