Take Full Page Screenshots using FireFox in the Commandline

CmdShots for FireFox

CmdShots is a FireFox add-on that takes full-page screenshots through the Command-line.

The usage is pretty simple

firefox -capture http://google.com -saveto /temp/output.jpg

And you'll have output.jpg saved to your hard-drive. FireFox will open for 2 seconds and then closes automatically.

More Options

  1. Time Delay You can specify a custom time delay before FireFox closes (in ms)

firefox -capture http://google.com -saveto /temp/output.jpg -delay 3500

  1. Page Width You can specify a custom FireFox window width. The FireFox browser will be resized to that width (no cropping or resizing of the captured image)

firefox -capture http://google.com -saveto /temp/output.jpg -width 1280

  1. Image Format You can chose between the jpeg and png formats

firefox -capture http://google.com -saveto /temp/output.jpg -format png

  1. JPEG Compression Compression for the JPEG format is possible. The range is 0-100

firefox -capture http://google.com -saveto /temp/output.jpg -quality 80
