Reproduced with Ubuntu 14.04 32-bits. It is e10s specific. It works fine without e10s.
The addon also notifies the user about its incompatibility with e10s.

"It looks like Firefox's multi-process mode (Electrolysis) is turned on.  Page Saver is not yet compatible with multi-process mode, so this capture probably will not succeed.

You can disable multi-process mode from the General panel within the Firefox Preferences window."

This message pops up once the toolbar addon is selected.

We have released Page Saver WE (a reimplementation of this extension using the WebExtensions API):
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/pagesaver-we
We kept the old XUL/XPCOM extension on AMO for now because a lot of people use it and it includes features that are not present (and in some cases not possible) using WebExtensions.
