Firefox has a decent screenshot tool built in, and for a lot of people that’s genuinely enough. This list exists for everyone else: developers who capture specific elements, people who annotate screenshots all day, and anyone who typed “GoFullPage for Firefox” into a search bar and came up empty (short answer: it doesn’t exist on Firefox, and section 8 covers what to use instead).
A disclosure before the list: Hoverify is our extension. It’s ranked first because this is our blog and we think it’s the best option for developers, but I’ve noted exactly what it costs and where the free tools are the smarter pick. Everything else here was checked against the Firefox Add-ons site in July 2026, and this update removed one extension that no longer exists.

| Awesome Screenshot | Free tier, ~$6/mo premium | Yes | Good annotations | Cloud sharing, screen recording |
| Nimbus Screen Capture | Free tier, $5/mo Pro | Yes | Good annotations | Team plans, cloud storage |
| FireShot | Free; Pro $39.95/yr or $99.95 lifetime | Yes | Pro adds editing | PDF export with working links |

| Screenshot Guru | Free | Yes | None | Website, not an extension |
| Capture Full Page Screenshot | Free | Yes | None | Another lightweight option |
1. Hoverify
Hoverify is a paid all-in-one extension for web developers, and Capture is one of its eight tools. If you only ever need a plain screenshot, skip ahead to the free options. Capture earns its place when screenshots are part of your actual work: bug reports, client mockups, documentation, social posts.
You get four capture modes: the visible viewport, the full page, a dragged selection, or a single element you click. Element capture is the one I use most; grabbing just the pricing card or just the broken nav, cleanly cropped, beats cropping by hand every time. Full-page capture handles sites with smooth-scrolling libraries like GSAP, which is where most scrolling screenshotters fall apart, and you can tune the delay between scroll fragments for pages with lazy-loaded content.
The screenshot editor is where the last year of updates went. You can annotate with arrows (plain or with attached labels), rectangles, circles, and text with shadow and stroke options, or drop in images pasted straight from your clipboard. You can blur out anything sensitive, crop with zoom and pan, snap annotations into alignment, undo and redo, and add your own logo or text as branding. Backgrounds and effects turn a plain capture into something you can post or send to a client as-is. Exports go to JPEG, PNG, WEBP, or PDF.
Two honest caveats. First, there’s no free tier: a Solo license is $30/year or $89 once, covering three browsers, with a 14-day refund policy instead of a trial. Second, we label the Firefox build experimental. The capture tools work (a Firefox export bug was fixed in the 4.8 update), but Chrome gets new features first. If you live in Firefox and want the whole toolkit, the same license covers both browsers, which softens that considerably.
2. Firefox’s built-in screenshot tool
Before installing anything, right-click any page and hit “Take Screenshot.” Firefox’s native tool captures the visible area or the full page, can auto-select elements as you hover, and copies to clipboard or saves as PNG. It ships with the browser, so there’s nothing to update or grant permissions to.
What it lacks is everything after the capture: no annotations, no formats besides PNG, no editing at all. Treat it as the baseline. If you keep opening screenshots in an image editor afterward, that’s your sign to pick something from the rest of this list.
3. Awesome Screenshot & Screen Recorder
Awesome Screenshot is the most complete free-tier option. It captures the visible area, a selection, or the full page, records your screen to MP4 or WebM, and its annotation editor covers shapes, arrows, text, blur, and crop.
The cloud angle is its real differentiator: screenshots get shareable private links and can go straight to Jira, Slack, Trello, Asana, or Google Drive, which makes it a natural fit for teams doing visual feedback. The free tier caps stored screenshots and recordings; the premium plan (around $6/month) lifts the limits. If cloud storage of your captures makes you uneasy, note that sharing links is the default workflow here.
4. Nimbus Screen Capture
Nimbus sits in the same category as Awesome Screenshot: capture plus recording plus cloud, with a solid annotation editor. It handles full-page and scrolling captures reliably and its editor includes the useful basics.
Pricing runs from a workable free plan to a $5/month Pro tier (watermarks, unlimited recording, more editing) up to team plans with shared workspaces. Between Nimbus and Awesome Screenshot, honestly, try both free tiers for a week; they’re close enough that the deciding factor is usually which interface annoys you less.
5. FireShot
FireShot started life as a Firefox extension back when that was unusual, and it’s still one of the most dependable full-page capture tools. The free version captures full pages, visible areas, and selections, and saves to image or PDF.
The Pro upgrade (a one-time purchase around $60, not a subscription) adds the editor, multi-tab capture, and its best trick: PDF exports that keep clickable links and searchable text. If you archive pages for legal, compliance, or research reasons, that feature alone justifies it. For everyone else, the free version covers the essentials and never nags you into a monthly plan.
6. Lightshot
Lightshot does one thing: drag a rectangle, get a screenshot, annotate it with basic shapes and text, done. It’s free, fast, and deliberately minimal. No full-page capture, no scrolling screenshots.
One thing to know before installing: Lightshot’s sharing flow uploads captures to its own servers to generate a link. Convenient for quickly sharing something, less great if you screenshot anything sensitive. It also skews Windows-first. For quick area grabs where the built-in tool feels clunky, it’s still a fine choice.
7. Easy Screenshot
Easy Screenshot is a free web clipper with over a million users. It captures the full page (with automatic scrolling and stitching), the visible area, or a selection, and its built-in editor is literally JSPaint, a browser recreation of MS Paint, which is either charming or damning depending on your age.
The catch: it hasn’t been updated since late 2022. It still works, but on modern, JavaScript-heavy pages the full-page stitching can misfire, and an unmaintained extension is always one Firefox update away from breaking. Fine for casual use; I wouldn’t build a workflow on it.
8. Looking for GoFullPage on Firefox?
Here’s the thing this list’s earlier version got wrong, so let’s be precise: GoFullPage is a Chrome extension. There is no official Firefox version, and there never has been. If you loved it on Chrome and switched browsers, you need a replacement, not a download link.
The closest matches on Firefox: the built-in tool (section 2) already does one-click full-page capture and is what I’d try first. Screenshot Full Page replicates GoFullPage’s single-purpose simplicity: one click, whole page, no settings to think about. FireShot (section 5) is the pick if you also want PDF output. And if you’re capturing full pages of your own site across different devices, Hoverify’s Responsive Viewer can screenshot each device viewport directly, which is a different job GoFullPage never did.
9. Screenshot Guru
Screenshot Guru isn’t an extension at all; it’s a website. Paste a URL, get a high-resolution full-page screenshot. That makes it handy for machines where you can’t install extensions, or for grabbing a page from your phone.
The limits follow from the design: it can only see public pages (nothing behind a login), there’s no editing, and you’re bound by whatever their servers render. As a zero-install fallback it’s worth knowing about; as a daily tool it’s not competing with the extensions here.
10. Capture Full Page Screenshot
Capture Full Page Screenshot rounds out the list as a light, free, no-configuration option for visible-area and full-page captures. No editor, no cloud, no accounts. If your entire requirement is “the whole page, as an image, occasionally,” a tool this small is arguably the correct amount of software.
This spot previously belonged to ScreenGrab!, which has been removed from the Firefox Add-ons site; if you still have it installed, it’s unmaintained and worth replacing.
How to actually choose
Start with what happens after you capture. If the answer is “nothing, I just save it,” use Firefox’s built-in tool and stop reading lists like this one. If you annotate and share with a team, Awesome Screenshot or Nimbus. If you archive pages as PDFs, FireShot Pro. If screenshots are part of development work (element captures, device viewports, polished annotated output) and you’d use the inspector, asset extraction, and SEO tools that come with it, that’s the case for Hoverify.
Chrome user too? We keep a separate list of the best screenshot extensions for Chrome, where the lineup differs more than you’d expect.
FAQs
How do I take a full-page screenshot in Firefox without an extension?
Right-click the page, choose “Take Screenshot,” then click “Save full page.” Firefox captures the entire scrollable page as a PNG. You can also press Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S on Mac) if you’ve enabled the shortcut.
Is there a GoFullPage extension for Firefox?
No. GoFullPage is Chrome-only. Firefox’s built-in screenshot tool, Screenshot Full Page, or FireShot cover the same job; see section 8 for the details.
What’s the best free screenshot extension for Firefox?
For most people, the built-in tool plus one annotation-capable extension covers everything. Awesome Screenshot has the strongest free tier if you want annotations and sharing; FireShot’s free version is the best pick if you want PDF output without paying.
