Firefox Extensions: Save As Image, save any web page as image.

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

For the blogging need, we will run into web pages that we want to screenshot it entirely from time to time. I usually use KSnapshot on my debian desktop, or ALT+PrintScreen on windows laptop. Both work well except the fact that, they capture the whole screen.

Save As Image is a neat extension, that lets you save any particular web page into image, so you don’t have to further edit the screenshot to remove the browser window, and window tabs.

This is how this blog looks like in IE6, and Sorry, I’m not going to fix it.

For once, let me be stubborn. I apologize if you are using Internet Explorer 6 or prior. This is how my blog looks in IE6.

While all other browsers, namely Firefox, Opera, Konquerer, and even IE7 are displaying the boxes correctly, IE 6 and prior are not. It is a known fact that Microsoft has been shipping defected Internet Explorer(prior to IE 7) together with their operating system. Many of you just do not know that.
