Firefox Plug-in For Screen Capture
I needed to take some images of a website today, and I needed a little more flexibility than a generic screen capture program could offer. I did a FireFox extention search, and came up with FireShot. The big selling point (if you can call it selling, when it’s free) for me was that it can capture pages longer than the screen, which was exactly what I needed. I hear there’s a version for something called “Internet Explorer”, whatever that is.
You can also edit pictures right in FireShot, including highlighting and annotation, save the image as a file, upload it to several file sharing websites, or print them. Big ups to FireShot!
The only problem I had with it is that there are Adobe Flex elements on the page I wanted to capture, and it needed to re-render them to get the image. But those Flex elements were AJAX-driven, which doesn’t work unless called at the right time. But this is not a frequent requirement, and I’m guessing it would be pretty hard to do it any other way.
