One of the main reasons to choose Firefox over other browsers is the excellent list of additional add-ons which makes my favorite browser better and stronger than ever. Firefox may not be the fastest browser but it definitely is the most powerful of them all.
Today, I’m going to share a Firefox Extension that I use the most. Since I’m writing articles all the time I like to capture images of the entire application or a webpage. This is where FireShot comes in handy.
It is a wonderful addon for Firefox that allows you to take a screenshot of the entire webpage using your keyboard. This plugin provides a set of editing and annotation tools so that users can easily modify web captures and insert text and graphical annotations.
The captures can be:
- uploaded to FREE public screenshot hosting
- saved to disk (PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP)
- printed
- copied to clipboard
- emailed
- sent to configurable external editor for further processing.
To assign your hot key, simply download the add-on, go to FireShot prefrences and choose the desired options. Here I have chosen CTRL + ALT + Z to take my screenshots.

Fireshot adds the ability to capture the entire web pages screenshot of entire of visible part, edit it, add annotations and upload to free screenshot hosting, save (PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP), print (NEW!) copy to clipboard, send to external editor or e-mail it.
This is how a complete screenshot is suppose to look like for this website.
