It can take screenshots of the entire page, not just the visible area.

I downloaded this and saved it in the Mozila folder. How do I use it? How do I access it? It's a .xpi file or something. |confused|

Hmmm...I'm sure there's probably a way to install manually. Did you right click the install button and use 'save as' or something?

If so, hit that page again...left click and FF will prompt you through the installation...much easier that way

Once installed, and FF is restarted...you should see the page save options listed when you right click on any page.

Given that, (as you noticed) MWSnap will not save entire pages, but instead only the viewable area...I just installed the FF extension and it seems to work great. Even saves in jpg format

I did that and got no prompt for installation.

I've got a folder of downloaded extensions, and you can install them from your hard drive without problems.

All you should need to do is double click the downloaded .xpi file, if no "Software Installation" box in Firefox pops up, right click on the file, click "Open With..." and choose Firefox (if it's not in the inital list you will have to click Browse, go to its installation directory, and choose firefox.exe).

What version of Firefox are you using?

WHEW! That worked, thanks! Windows said it couldn't open the file because it needed to know what program created the file, or something to that effect. I didn't realize I needed to "Open With" and choose Firefox. But it works now, thanks! Damn I hate computers |pcwins|
