Firefox: Easily screenshot a whole web page

It's as easy as one-two-three:

1. In Firefox, press Shift+F2.

This opens up the Firefox console at the bottom of the screen which enables you to issue commands right from the webpage.

2.  Enter the following command and press Enter:
 screenshot --fullpage
 3. A screenshot image file of the whole web page will be made in your Downloads folder.



To close the console, simply press Shift+F2 again. You can use this command with different parameters to achieve different results:

--fullpage
Takes a screenshot of the entire web page even the parts not scrolled to.
--delay <number>
Takes a screenshot after the specified delay (in seconds).
--clipboard
Takes a screenshot and copies it to the clipboard.
--chrome
Takes a screenshot of the whole Firefox window, not just the webpage.
