Tool Time Friday | Have you got FireShot?

FireShot is a Firefox extension that creates screenshots of web pages.


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.
It’s possible to choose whether you want to capture entire web page or take screenshot of only visible part of the web page.

The captures can be:

- uploaded to FREE public screenshot hosting
- saved to disk (PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP)
- printed
- copied to clipboard
- e-mailed
- sent to configurable external editor for further processing.

Tool Time Friday | A Room with a View?

The main goal of ViewSource consists to view page source with external applications but you can also…..

- open page source as DOM document, read faq
