I am doing something bad. That's sure. I have the SC icon in red all the time.
May be the keys combinations or I don't know. I will investigate.
this time is not blinking
I must see the video tutorials in detail.

I put now a series of screenshots trying to say that I am unable to select the main firefox window.
I obtain the rest, but not that one.
I am unable to obtain scrolling screenshots from the firefox window.

     

     

     

In the last screenshots from the virtual dimension window is observed how the black screen is below.

I am using w7 premium edition 64 bits spanish version if may help

Be aware that Firefox since version 4 is a PITA to Scroll-capture :mad:

The tutorials of ScreenShot Captor are very good. Nice indeed.
So I think  I can experiment in my present situation and assume the results.
Learning the best in the future may help me.

Hey there .o/

How about using Pearl Crescent Page Saver Basic ?

Also, are you sure you actually need an image capture, or wouldn't it be better, depending on how you plan to use it, to save the page as an archive (MHT file for example), so the links on the page stay functional ?

Pearl Crescent is good and have good opinions like SC.
Fails me in the addons page administration. Only capture a part. But in other page capture all well.

I was able to capture this page successfully with SC - but I had to manually set the amount of overlap.
