I actually used the screenshots feature for the first time (to illustrate my devconf.cz talk this week, do come, it's free!). The nice thing about it is that you can scroll the page while framing the screenshot, allowing you to take a shot of the whole page including everything below the fold. I think such a feature needs to be integrated into the browser.

Just use `screenshot --fullpage` from the console. I usually do something like `screenshot --dpr 3 --fullpage` for a higher resolution image

Or rightclick on the page, Take Screenshot, Save full page button

the --dpr option sounds useful, I'll try that out.

"Console" being the Linux shell or the Firefox JS console? I don't understand how that could work from the shell.

Yes, Console being the Firefox DevTools console

Is this different to the Web Developer console?

It certainly helps/simplifies the problem, but I imagine in most cases a builtin image stitcher inside the screenshot tool could also work in great majority of cases. Infact I would expect someone have done that already..

Yeah, definitely possible. The firefox screenshot feature is fairly smoothly integrated and intuitive, a rare moment of clarity from their UI team.
