Windows 7 screen shots?

I really miss the option of taking screenshots of displays which is available in Unbuntu et al.  Is there a similar add-on, plug-in or other program that can be used in Win 7 and FF 7 for the same purpose ?

Print Screen key saves what you are looking at in clipboard, then paste that in MS paint or any paint package.

Agreed, it does exactly what you're looking for CT. Very handy.  Wink

Have you got the save options to work recently? I'm finding they don't come up with the save dialog.

Where's the option to select whether you want the mouse pointer included in the screen shot?

Well it refuses to install citing my version of FF.
Presumably you installed it on a previous version.

I accidentally got onto the beta FF channel - so I reloaded a 3.6 version before going back to 7.0.1
