This thread explains how to capture information on full windows web pages via the Firefox browser beyond what fits on one's computer display device, laptop or desktop, into jpg files. There have always been ways to capture portions of whatever is on a display with the PrtScr key or a long list of applications, for instance, mwsnap, but not for capturing full web pages that is somewhat browser dependent.
For this example, will use information from the below web page for Gallop's just released poll on American's belief in god, since the board currently has a few active threads on religion, someone could reference per below. A web page with both text and graphics. One could just save the whole page as linked or html files however that would not allow displaying the whole page as a jpeg file others could see within a post or copy as a jpg onto one's smartphone memory. The html folder and files would also use many times as much memory versus a single jpg saved at quality 5.
For instance, copying a long wildflower species web guide page one would normally scroll down through with say 20 photos with text species descriptions and information into a single jpg that copied into one's smartphone memory one could then conveniently use out on a hike much like a paper guidebook. Likewise one might do so to view a full map at 100% scale that does not otherwise fit on a single display screen. Much more.

To do this on a firefox web page,
- Mouse right click anywhere within open space on a page
- then in the drop down, left mouse button select Take Screenshot .
- In the window pop-up upper left mouse select Save Full Page .
- In the next pop-up at window upper right, left mouse button select Download .
- That should end up saving into one's computer Download folder.
- Open that file with an image editing program like Paint or Photoshop.
- in that program, either Save the whole image as a jpg file or just the section like I did above.
