darkoshi: (Default)
Firefox used to let you save a screenshot of the full web-page via the Developer Toolbar:

(By the way, if you accidentally tried that from the toolbar shown in the Web Console instead of the Developer Toolbar, it didn't work, and showed an error, "SyntaxError: missing ; before statement".)

The Developer Toolbar has been removed in version 63 of Firefox:

So now you can save a screenshot from the Web Console; but you need to include a colon (:) in front of the command:
:screenshot --clipboard --fullpage

See:

In the Web Console settings, you can also select the "Take a screenshot of the entire page" option under "Available Toolbox buttons", to get a Web Console toolbar button for taking a screenshot. Using that button, rather than saving the screenshot to the clipboard, automatically saves a PNG image in the Downloads folder.
