LightShot for Firefox


Screenshots are a great way to capture anything of interest on your computer, whether it's an error message that you need to send to tech support or a funny message-board comment. LightShot for Firefox is an easy-to-use browser extension that lets users take, edits, and upload screenshots. This versatile add-on could quickly become indispensable for users who have a frequent need to take screen captures.
LightShot installs easily and then appears as a small feather icon to the right of Firefox's address bar. Click the icon and the screen dims, letting you know that LightShot has been activated. You can then drag a box over the area you want to capture and use the accompanying toolbar to choose your next move. The extension lets you save, copy, or print the selected area, or you can edit it in LightShot's online editing utility; the extension will upload your image automatically and open it in a sleek and fairly powerful editing tool.
LightShot also lets you upload screenshots to a server for sharing, providing a URL leading directly to your image. Like most browser extensions, LightShot doesn't have a Help file, but that's OK; everything about it is intuitive. Overall, we were quite impressed with both how easy LightShot was to use and how many cool features it had. We think it's an excellent choice for anyone who wants more options than the built-in Windows screen capture utility offers.
LightShot for Firefox installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this extension to all users.

Publishers Description:
LightShot is a tool allowing you to easily make screenshots of any selected area in a browser tab. It is not overloaded by useless options. You just hit Lightshot icon on the toolbar or status bar (Alt+T), then select area you want to make a screenshot from and click "Save" or "Upload to server". In case of uploading you instantly get link to a screenshot you've just uploaded. It is possible to resize and move selection area right in a browser tab without opening any additional applications. That makes the process very simple and easy. You also can edit your screenshots (add text, draw lines and more other functions). There are other tricks to make screenshoting superfast: 1. Press "Ctrl" and start selecting area with a mouse. After you finish the selection, the screenshot goes directly to clipboard. 2. If you want to copy a screenshot to clipboard after you've selected an area just hit Ctrl+C as usual. 3. Ctrl+S makes fast save in the most recent folder (or "My Documents" if none) without showing "Save As" dialog. Use it for fast saving screenshots in the same folder.
