Just discovered this, thought it might be useful to others. FWIW I'm using FF 53.0 but I believe this feature has been around for years.

So, I was looking at a Terms page today, more than four full screens worth of text. Didn't want to be taking individual shots of each page so ... how to do it in one go?

Turns out FF has this built in:
  • Shift-F2 will give you FF's CLI (Command Line Interface) at the bottom of your FF window, has a ">>" prompt.
  • type the command "screenshot --fullpage name-of-your-file.png" without the quotes (obviously).
  • hit Enter. You'll get a shutter snap sound.
  • Bob's your uncle! You have name-of-your-file.png sitting in your Downloads folder and it is indeed the full web page.
  • to make CLI go away hit Shift-F2 again or click the little "x" on the far right of the CLI.

Enjoy!

. My understanding is that this feature is applicable to all FF installations, not just on linux.
 
Firefox used to be my favourite browser but have noticed over the past few months less and less sites render correctly.

For example, BGO Casino loads a blank page and many sites like Codeta complain about invalid SSL certificates.

Apparently 'Vivaldi' is the future :eek2:
 
I still use FF because I can control its behaviour. Its not the fastest browser and seems to be getting a bit bloated. Still love it and have been using FF/Netscape Navigator (!) over 20 years. At least I stopped using Pine as my email client. :rolleyes:

Sadly most browser based casinos you need to use Chrome to get the games play smoothly.
