A web agency weblog

A few days ago I mentioned how to capture long web pages with a neat Firefox extension, Screengrab. As I have Java always installed in my box I forgot to mention the extension needs Java, actually I didn’t even notice it.

Now that I upgraded from Fedora Core 4 to 5 and also moved to Firefox 2 RC1 the neat extension stopped work.

I fixed the problem unzipping Andy’s .xpi of the 0.8 version and changing these lines in install.rdf:

<em:version>0.8b</em>
<em:maxVersion>2.1</em>

You can grab the modified version, which I called 0.8b, here.

There are occasional crashes in some web pages but that also happened in the original 0.8 and I’m sure Andy will have it fixed by version 1.0.

This should work with other extensions as well, I’ll try with another of my favorites: the one for del.icio.us.

Update: Yep, it worked with del.icio.us too, here my version 1.1b.
