thought this might be useful when dealing with screenshots of the browser window:

 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5648

 

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 captures and insert text and graphical annotations. Such functionality will be especially useful for web designers, testers and content reviewers. It's possible to choose whether entire web page or only visible part of this page should be captured. Screenshots can be saved to disk (PNG, JPEG, BMP), copied to clipboard, e-mailed and sent to external editor for further processing.

 

Adds the ability to take a screenshot of web page (entire or visible part), edit it, add annotations and save (PNG, JPEG, BMP), copy to clipboard, send to external editor or e-mail it.

That'd only be neat if it created a screenshot of the entire page, not just the viewport. As already stated: anyone with a functional print screen button and any image manipulation tool (ms paint?) can do what this program does. This is just adding unnecessary bloat to FF and the extension DB.

well i don't think it matters which one you use in the end because as long as the browser gets the job done fast its good i just like firefox for the pop add blocker as well as that thing that takes away adds off the page i used to go to a site a lot but not until I used IE I realized how many adds it got

any body who is willing to say 'my thing is better than your thing and you suck for not using mine' is a !@#$%^&*

Well, when I used FF, i had as many popups as on IE. But I always used strict cookies (aka 'ask for every cookie') so that's why I'm probably getting 10x less popups than most people. So it doesnt depend on the browser, it just depends how you use it. (Though I totally agree that FF > IE6, only for the tabbed browsing blum.gif )

I think I (or someone else) should write a small app to handle screenshots...

I'd want it to pop up a dialog with Save... Edit... Cancel when you hit the specified shortcut (shift+printscr or something) and it would save as PNG

shift+alt+printscr would grab the active window

shift+ctrl+printscr would let you select an area

 

There are tons of OMGEZSNAPSHOTSSS programs out there, but they all suck as far as I know

You wouldn't even need to go that far. Just hook into the existing print screen functionality. After it's pressed and does it's normal operations, just have your app take over for the region stuff. The only problem you'd have is figuring out where the screenshot in the clipboard came from on the screen (if it's not a fullscreen ss). Aside from that though, it wouldn't be a whole lot of work.
