Will Firefox ever support scrolling with Snagit 10?

I use Techsmith Snagit 10 for researching various technical processes and techniques. This requires Snagit's ability to scroll capture entire web pages to be saved as either JPEG's or PDF's. I capture many product specifications and data tables, which I then convert to Excel workbook sheets for using as LOOKUP tables. This works very well, if I use Google or Internet Explorer as my search engine, in conjunction with Snagit 10. However, Snagit 10 will not scroll if I am using Firefox. Is there an add-on for Firefox that will enable Snagit scrolling? I would prefer to continue using Snagit 10, instead of a later version, because I have tried later versions and find that version 10 works the best for me. I prefer not to use Acrobat 11 when scrolling, because of the dated page breaks. I would like to use Firefox as my default search engine, so that I do not receive messages from certain websites informing me that my search engine is no longer supported. As a foot note, I have installed Real.com Realtimes version 18, this works very well with Firefox when I am downloading video clips.

Firefox comes with a feature to take a full page screenshot as part of built-in developer tools. Firefox has a setting in the web developer toolbox settings to add a button to the toolbar of the Web Developer toolbox to take a full page screenshot.

The (default) file name is "Screen Shot yyyy-mm-dd at HH.MM.SS.png" and the file is saved to the Downloads folder (TmpD). You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and have access to the developer tools including the cogwheel icon to access the toolbox settings and find the "Take a fullpage screenshot" (camera) button once you have enabled this button.

If you need more options like a delay or saving the image to the clipboard then you can use the Developer toolbar and invoke the screenshot command.

  • 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 and Down key
  • press the Tab key to accept (autocomplete) a suggestion or copy a selection in a pop-up to the command line
  • type a space and two dashes (--) to see all 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
