Fireshot – a fabulous Firefox add-on

If you want to take screenshots of webpages and save them in multiple sizes and maybe also add text on them then you can do this all right inside Firefox with FireShot extension for Firefox.

Unlike other extensions, this plugin provides a set of editing and annotation tools, which let users quickly modify web captures and insert text annotations and graphical annotations. Such functionality will be especially useful for web designers, testers and content reviewers.

I’ve just installed this add-on and it really excites me for some reason. I took a screen shot of this blog. It’s useful for me because it takes the whole site in, not just what the Print screen key can take, which is whatever you can see, but not further.

I have made the image smaller so it fits on this blog.

Finally – my Firefox is back

I wrote a blog post about Firefox going silly on me a while back. Well, I could find no answer to the problem except deletion and I didn’t want to do that because I’d lose all my passwords. But Firefox 3 came along and nothing. It wouldn’t work any longer. I used IE for as long as I could bear and today I deleted everything to do with Firefox on my computer. I did that with Add/Remove applications in my control panel, used an uninstaller program as well, used CCleaner to get rid of registry files AND did a search for Firefox on my computer. There were still files there – old set up exes. The reason I had to delete everything was to fix the problem I was having.

Then back to Mozilla and downloaded Firefox 3. Working nicely now thank you.

Problem with Firefox

I only ever use Firefox but now after clicking on it, it takes about 3 minutes before I get a dialog box which says

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Apparently this is a common problem.

When did it start happening? Well I can’t quite remember now but I had downloaded a firefox add on which was a You Tube downloader which never seemed to appear. So I deleted that add on. It can be a conflict between Firefox add ons. I had cleaned out my files, removed some programs which were not mine being careful to leave shared files. I had defragged.

I have typed about:config in the browser and altered dom.max_script_run_time to a higher number but it was already on 10 anyway. No luck.

I ended up deleting Firefox and downloading a newer version. I was leaving this until last because I didn’t want to lose my passwords which are saved by Firefox. They are still there and so is the problem.

Mozilla support isn’t much use. Other forums have suggested what I have already done.

I suspect the problem is in Documents and Settings > Firefox> Profile but I don’t know what to change there.

Can anyone help?
