If you’re like most Firefox users, you probably use the browser to access the web. But what if you want to take a screenshot of an entire web page? There’s a way to do this in Firefox, and it’s easy enough to follow. All you need is a Firefox extension called “Screenshot Captor.” Once installed, open up Firefox and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the browser window. This will show a list of all your current tabs. From here, select one of your tabs and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the browser window again. This will show a list of all your current screenshots. Now, select one of your screenshots and click on the “capture” button at the bottom right corner of the browser window. This will take a screenshot of that page and save it as a file named “Screenshot_captor-1.png.”
I’ve already converted Tim to use Firefox, which is a requirement for this particular method. There are other methods of taking a screenshot image for Internet Explorer, which I’ll write about at another time.
The Screengrab! extension will let us take a complete page screenshot from the right-click context menu:
If you choose the Save branch of the menu, you can save the image out to a file instead of the clipboard. The one thing you want to remember is to name the file with an extension of .png, or else you might have problems opening it.
Only took a couple seconds to create this screenshot:
I’ve been using this extension for quite a while with good luck.
