What is the "FireShot" add-on limited to?
This may seem silly, but is the FireShot add-on able to make a screenshot of a page that has so many comments on it that you have to shift the page (a page that has a bar at the bottom that you have to move)? I've tried to make a screenshot of such a page several times, but it has always messed up. So, I'm just wondering. I hope people understand what I'm describing. Thanks.

Some screen shot programs can take a snap of the whole web page. Even what is not currently displayed. Look carefully at the choices you have.
Well, I'm looking for a screenshot program where it allows you to scroll down the page. I know in FireShot, you can do that. But now, I'm trying to be able to get a shot of the whole page (if it has the bar at the bottom that you'd need to move). Do you know of any programs that allow all of this? I hope you understand everything I'm describing. Please tell me if you understand or not.
Current Firefox versions have a built-in feature to take a screenshot as one of the Developer Toolbar commands (Shift+F2; 3-bar Firefox menu button > Developer or Tools > Web Developer).
You can use this if you only need a screenshot occasionally because you need to use a command line and can't click a button or use the context menu.
- A quick way to save a screenshot is to press the "s" and press the Tab key to accept the screenshot autocomplete suggestion.
- For help about this command, use: help screenshot
- When you get a pop-up with suggestions then you can select an entry with the cursor Up key and press the Tab key to autocomplete this item
- Press the Tab key to copy/accept a suggestion in the command line
- Type a space and two hyphens (--) to enter options and use the cursor Up and Down keys to cycle through available options
- The default file name is "Screen Shot yyyy-mm-dd at HH.MM.SS.png" in the download directory.

Do you mean you want an add-on that will both scroll by itself for some distance and then grab a screenshot of the entire page? I'm not aware of anything like that. Perhaps you can use one that scrolls, and then use FireShot for the screenshot.
For future reference regarding FireShot:
right-click the page > FireShot > Capture Entire page and ... > Save...
I don't know the height limit for screen shots in FireShot, but very tall ones won't be viewable in Firefox for Windows, you'll need to view them in an image editor or other browser.
Whoops, I think you meant a horizontal scrollbar. Both cor-el's method and FireShot will work when the page content is so wide that you get a horizontal scrollbar.
Hi, try Nimbus Screen Capture.
Hope that answers your question.

Well, like I said: I've tried doing a screenshot on a page with the horizontal scrollbar, but FireShot didn't get all the comments in the screenshot.

I just tried it on the type of pages I'm having problems with & Nimbus didn't work. Thanks for trying though.
Can you give a link to an example page with this problem?

Hey, that's nice. I use this add-on myself.
Abduction! - Webpage Screenshots Screen Capture {web link} Adds a right click option to take screen shots of an entire web page or just part of a web page to save as an image.
