Jonathan, you are a life saver!
This issue has been on my mind for a few months. Currently I’m using the PrtSc key; then pasted it in IrfanView, then cut out the area I want…all the while thinking that surely there must be a better way.

I’m going to try Iimmgg first. Thanks!

I’ve been using this add-on for Firefox for more than 2 years, never failed me: http://pearlcrescent.com/products/pagesaver/

Gililan: I’m a SnapzProX kind of guy myself. I love it too. But I only have it on one computer and I use Iimmgg when I can’t get at that machine. I have Firefox on all of my computers so it seemed natural to seek out a Firefox-based solution for that problem.

Missy: I haven’t messed with their image host so I’ll take you at your word. Definitely give Iimmgg a try though, I don’t like them as an image host either, I typically just save things to my HD and upload myself, but it really does its job quite well.

I was using Fireshot for quite some time, and once mentioned it was the best thing since sliced bread, in ref to free Firefox screen capture apps. But ever since it merged with an image host named Easy Captures, it is a major pain in the arse. Mainly because it is in flash and won’t let me capture a bigger version of the image once uploaded.

I’m off to give Iimmgg a try. Sounds good. Have my fingers crossed it will be my new screen capture program.

Thank you for the round up. Very useful.

Missy.

Snag it ! Snag it ! is $50 for life. Its wonderful. I used the free 30 day trial and missed it so much afterwards that I got the old credit card and paid up for copy of it (and I’m not one to pay if I can have them for free). Its brilliant.

Steven: I agree on Screengrab. I’ve used it before and would have made it the fourth but I honestly couldn’t find a good fifth contender. It’s a great extension though.

Owain: Glad you liked the article!

Great and useful tools. This is something I find myself needing to do quite often. Never seen dashblog before.

Thought I'd add another extension to your list Jonathon. Screengrab was the first one I found and it's always done what I need it to do. It lets you grab the full screen, the visible portion of the screen, or a selection from the screen.
