Create Screenshot of Website from within Firefox !

My computer had been infected with viruses but I didn't do anything to fix that because I was too busy. Until last night, it can not enter windows normally. Even in safe mode always automatically rebooted over and over. So I decided to reinstall my windows. But that's not what I'm going to tell you. :D

After successfully reinstall, the first time I did was installing my favorite browser, Firefox. And because I forgot to backup the extensions, I should download them again.

I browsed all extensions, maybe I could find new things. And surprisingly, I found many extensions that I couldn't imagine it can run within browser before.

On every review, I always include screenshot of the website. Do you know how I did that ? I open the website » press F11 to go fullscreen » press Print Screen to capture it » Open Photoshop » create new » Paste » Remove vertical scrollbar on the right » Save » Upload. After that you will see captured image, usually floated on the top right of starting paragraph.

But then I found FireShot.

FireShot is a Firefox extension that creates screenshots of web pages. Unlike other extensions, this plugin provides a set of editing and annotation tools, which let users quickly modify captures and insert text and graphical annotations. Such functionality will be especially useful for web designers, testers and content reviewers. It's possible to choose whether entire web page or only visible part of this page should be captured. Screenshots can be uploaded to server, saved to disk (PNG, JPEG, BMP), copied to clipboard, e-mailed and sent to external editor for further processing.

I was freezed for a moment and scream out loud (in my heart, :D ) : This is what I'm looking for !

A long time ago I did admire Opera because of its ability to view screenshot of opened websites when hovering tabs. And there are
some websites providing similar functions. Then I tried to find application to do that, but then I was hopeless because there's no free application.

This extension really saves my life. And even more... it can save whole portion of a website although it's unseen (need to scroll horizontal or vertical to see it).

So, the old way is not usable now. It's shorted into : open the website » right click and choose Fireshot - Take Screenshot (entire page) and ... » Save... » Upload.

From 9 steps down to only 4 steps. But I think it's only 3 steps, since Save... is only sub menu of Fireshot - Take Screenshot (entire page) and ....

Very handy and really a time saver, isn't it ?

But, when I tried to Edit (not directly save) to add some notes, firefox got errors and should be closed. Maybe this feature still have bugs.

And I feel the menu is too long. But that's ok, I only need to capture and save. That's it.

This extension is very useful ! Believe me !
