Snappy Screen Capture

I haven’t added many new Firefox extensions lately. At least, I haven’t kept many once I tried them.

But Snapper now lives on my browser window just above the task bar. It shows there up as a little red fish.

When I want to save a piece of a browser screen (for instance, to send tech support an image of a dialog box with an error code) I click the fish (that temporarily opens his mouth to show the program is active), left click and drag around the rectangle of screen I want, and the file, in png format, is sent to storage where ever I have designated the program to store these little pieces of browser screens. Very handy.

But if you use Firefox 2, you’ll need to get the modified extension here at this link.
