Entry tags:
taking screenshots of full web pages
I was looking for an add-on to let me save an image of a full web-page, even if only part of the page is visible without scrolling.
I found out that you can do it in Firefox (and Waterfox) even without an addon:
From the menu, select Tools - Web Developer - Developer Toolbar. That will make it show an entry bar at the bottom of the page.
Then type "screenshot --clipboard --fullpage" into the entry bar, to save the image to the clipboard. Or you can save it directly to a file, using other parameters.
In some cases you may get an error message while doing that, and it may not work. It depends on how the webpage is set up. But I got around that by first saving the page as a single HTML file, opening the saved file, and then doing the above. This way, the screenshot didn't have all the images and colors of the original page, but it had the important stuff that I wanted to save.
