Hey Hamradio,

I think you're on to something!

In my FF version 24 I can select Tools>Web Developer>Developer Toolbar (you're correct it is also Shift/F2).

I've never used this function so I kinda' get lost after that.

There's a command-type prompt which appears at the bottom of the screen with all sorts of things.

I'm not sure what my next step is after laughing the developer toolbar?

I'm not clear on how to get to screenshot yourfilename.png --fullpage?

I'm also not sure how to ...screenshot --clipboard --fullpage?

I can press the PrntScreen button on my keyboard but I don't think that will grab the whole webpage as I scroll down, or can it?

Also, how do I reach ...help screenshot?

Thank you ever so much!

You just click inside the little tiny bar that appears at bottom and type out the lines I showed and if doing the yourfilename.png one you would put what you want where yourfilename is. :)

worked well here - I just copied the text:
screenshot yourfilename.png --fullpage
then pressed shift+F2
the cursor was already in the correct place, so I pasted the text (Ctrl+V) and pressed Enter key -
it showed a preview of the screenshot and also the path to where it was saved.

It does a perfect scrolling capture :Thmbsup:

Note: you have to use a different filename each time - otherwise it just replaces the previous shot without any warning.

You can also just do:

screenshot --fullpage

It will format the name like...

Hey Hamradio,

You're a genius!!

I just followed your suggestion - screenshot --fullpage and sure enough it copied the whole page and saved it.

Do you know of any way to tell FF which folder to save the png file in?

Or does it have to save it to a particular folder every time?

Thanks you ever so very much!!
