Taking screenshots of web sites is probably one of the most commonly done tasks on the internet - doubly so if you have a blog or work as a journalist. This week, we wrote about Thumbalizr, a service that lets you take screenshots of websites. However, there are several other tools for easy screenshot capturing - some standalone and some in the form of a browser plugin.

Save as image - an aptly named Firefox plugin that lets you save a page, frame, or part of either as an image directly from Firefox.

Pearl Crescent Page Saver - Save images of web pages in jpg or png format; save the entire page or just a portion of it, with the ability to automatically scale the image to a smaller size.

Picnik for Firefox - if you use online image editor Picnik this Firefox plugin enables you to easily import a screenshot of the currently opened webpage into it.

2. Change behaviour of close button:

Sometimes by mistake you click on close button of Firefox tabs. Here is a trick to remove or move close tab button. 
Type about:config in the address bar and hit Enter button, 
then search for browser.tabs.closeButton in filter field.
 When you find it double-click on given result. It will show you a prompt with default value 1. Change it to different values for different behaviours.

• Enter 0 to display a close button on the active tab only.
• Enter 1 (default Value) to display close button to all tabs.
• Enter 2 to avoid displaying any close buttons.
• Enter 3 to display single close button at the end of the tab bar.
