Web Page Screenshots: While browsing, you may sometimes find a webpage that you like, or a text, an image you would like to share with others, but it can be difficult to solve. This issue resolves the Fireshot Capture extension that can be downloaded and installed from the FireShot site.

Quick tip: It integrates into the browser as an add-on and becomes easily accessible via the blue icon integrated into the top right corner of the browser menu.

Most websites are much longer than the screen, so you can only cut a portion that is traditionally visible with other programs, and then you have to scroll down to cut another section. The FireShot Capture plug-in is capable of saving visible parts, or only a selected area, or a portion of the image, or an entire web site what is very useful for webmasters, and can be saved in PDF format if you choose this option, or in PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP.

Do the following:

1. Click this link: http://getfireshot.com/fireshot-install.exe »» Immediately download the program.
2. Click on the program icon downloaded, and start the installation.
3. n a pop-up window, you can choose which browser to install.
4. Uncheck the browser boxes you do not want to install.

A warning window will appear to close all browsers because it can be integrated only in this case. Click on the Retry button.

In a new warning window you will be asked to confirm the installation. Click OK.

A page appears where you need to click on the green button, to continue the installation (you must allow integration into your browser).

Then a pop-up window will appear, asking for permission again. Click on the Add extension button.

In a few seconds it does a background operation that can not be seen, but be patient. Finally, in the menu bar, a blue icon appears on the right side of the browser, iand in a notification window it announces that the extension has been successfully added, ready for use (in the Internet Explorer browser appears on the left).
