Firefox screen capture tools

Sometimes it's handy to capture what's in the browser window, edit it, or print it. Here is a list of Firefox screen capture tools with a brief rundown of their features. These are all the features of the free versions. My favorite is Nimbus as I sometimes need to add arrows, or blur a rectangle to hide confidential information. Nimbus can also save your image to Google Drive, or to your local drive.

- Awesome Screenshot Plus. Edit after capturing, print right from FF, or save as image. Can also save an image for 1 month on their website for free. Can blur out selected rectangle. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-screenshot-capture-/?src=ss

- Easy Screenshot. Crop, rectangle, ellipse, line, freehand draw, blur on drag (but can't blur a rectangular area). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easyscreenshot/?src=search

- Fireshot. Edit image after capturing, add text, boxes, more. Save as image or PDF, email it, upload it. Lots of options for arrows, boxes, text, highlight, pen. No blur, disabled in free version: crop, image resize. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireshot/developers

*- Nimbus Screen Capture. Save screenshots to Google Drive, add arrows, crop, blur a selected rectangle, capture region, shadow puts a shadow around any other thing drawn, like an arrow. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nimbus-screenshot/?src=search

Firefox addon: Grab web page as EPUB file

GrabMyBooks will grab a single webpage, or follow links to a depth you desire and then create an EPUB file for your portable device (or any device). This can be used for downloading online manuals, online books, online magazines, etc. But the address you specify must be an actual HTM, HTML, or other file, it will not grab items if the web address ends in a slash.

Notes:

1. Takes only one address at a time but you specify depth of grabbing, and whether or not you want to get pages external to the original address, or just similar to the original address. 

Also, Acrobat Pro X can download a website into a PDF, but it also needs a web file as a starting address. This does not work with the free Acrobat Reader, you must buy Acrobat Pro.

Example valid web file: http://www.mysite.com/index.html

Example invalid directory name: http://chuckrblog.blogger.com/

If the web address ends with a slash, it's not a file and cannot be used with Acrobat or GrabMyBooks to download a site.
