The Screen Grab FF add-on is a ponderous work around. It saves the entire window (or visible portion) as a bloated PNG file, which will then have to be cropped and converted back to a JPG. If you are saving any quantity of images at all, using IE is the logical way to go. In this instance Microsoft has built the better, more user friendly and functional browser.
