682505 2008-06-26 04:14:00 FF3 doesn't seem to be quite stable yet - like you, I took the plunge recently, and while it is faster, it is very crashy. It's died on me 3 times this morning already.I have found the same thing. It has crashed quite a few times since installation. Pato (2463)
682506 2008-06-26 04:26:00 Hi W T,

your picture of your settings -is parralel with mine- except that the "ask me etc" was ticked- now is not so,-- I will see if that works
I am curious as to how you sent a screenshot-but I am dumb-not to worry-thanks for what we have received so far

I have NOT had FF3 crash, ever-it is fast,it should be an asset, so long as I/we can utilize it's benefits

682507 2008-06-26 06:44:00 Hi Effie, To do the screen captures I use a program called Ashampoo Magical Snap 2 (www2.ashampoo.com) it not free, but it has a load of different functions apart from simple screen capture, heres this post (www.imagef1.net.nz) the top drop down bar, which sits only just visible until your mouse pointer gets close to it, then pops out allows the basic capture, as you can see it does a whole screen, or a selected area, scrolling window.
While it doesn't show it here, on the left and right of the captured window are a whole lot of tools for altering once you have the main capture.

To get a capture with the built in programs in windows, you can hit the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard, open Paint and paste it in, fro there use the tools that paint has for editing/cropping etc. It is rather basic, takes longer, but still does work. There are free screen capture software available if you want to look on Google and do a search. I chose Ashampoo because i use a few of their products and find they work well.- and its cheap.

Once you have a capture you go to ImageF1 (imagef1.net.nz) I usually use Basic Interface and browse for your capture ( where ever you put it) - upload it - select the Location (www.imagef1.net.nz) from the window/ copy, look for the link Icon Click it (www.imagef1.net.nz) and you will get the box pop open, paste in your copied link / Ok then if you want to name it, type in the name and it will automatically put what you typeExample (www.imagef1.net.nz) Make sure the cursor is out side the [/URL] Box and carry on typing if you want. - hit submit Reply.

682509 2008-06-26 08:16:00 Hi W T ,

That is something I have never done- I was intrigued with your display shot- further up this thread.
I think I will file your suggestions for a future time, and use them at that- my brain is running round in circles already--but that is age I assume
:thanks

Thank you all for a good thread job,well done

Re FF - everything now appears to be going well-and certainly I have never had a crash with it-it is fast and probably worth retaining.
Thanks to you all.
:)

Same, 5 computers with 3 different OS' and none of them have ever had a problem with FF3. If it is crashing, I would check your add-ons.

Even simpler is to press Alt+Print Screen which will just capture the selected window (in this case the Settings screen) instead of the whole desktop ;)
Paste this into Paint and save as a .jpg

Paste this into Paint and save as a .jpg No thanks - while that method will capture a Open window it wont allow you to select a portion of a screen, for example if you have a whole page open.

While its OK for basic capture, it also doesn't have the functions of adding text, highlighting, speech bubbles, erase sections you don't want seen, and numerous other functions all at your fingertips with in the one program unless you import the capture into a editing program - and with the amount of screen captures I do with customer help, that's way to slow. The program I linked does the job perfectly.
