I have been using the Screengrab extension in Firefox 1.5 all the time. What it does is to save a website as an image. Everything is saved in the process which means that the image can become really big. I love it because I think it is so much easier and better to save a website as an image instead of saving the htm files with all the other elements using Save Page As.
The problem with Screengrabber was that it was not compatible with Firefox 2.x because the author had no time to edit the version number in the extension. You might know that information about compatibility are stored in the extension and that authors may not add a version number higher than the actual released version of firefox.
I did find out by coincidence that the author of Screengraber edited his add-on to work in Firefox 2.x. The mozilla.org website did not contain the information about the new version but the authors homepage did. If you do like the extension head over to his website and install it.
