I have downloaded and installed various versions of Fireshot free. However, although these are purported to be free for Firefox, I keep getting notices that my 30-day trial of Fireshot Pro is over and if I want to use the program I have to buy it. As far as I know, none of my Fireshot downloads were the Pro edition, yet these notices keep referring to the Pro edition. I have no idea what's happening, do you?

In looking at their page, -program.com/fireshot/ -- it appears to be free, but they would like you update to the professional version, which offers a few more features, which you're not been using (unless the free version came with a trial to the Pro version).

In looking at that page and at the pro version page, I see nothing that you can't do for free with the one I use which is PicPick (picpick.org), which is free for personal use only (non-business use). It is separate from all browsers so does not add overhead to any browser.

You'd probably want to stick with what you are using, unless the annoyances really become bothersome. The transition between such software is very simple, the tools look the same to me, the layout is different.

Fireshot is a web browser extension using which one can take full webpage screenshots. You can edit, save and capture screenshots in whatever format you want like PNG/JPEG/GIF/PDF. One can even give the print command or copy the image to the clipboard. There is no spyware, ads, or unnecessary permissions required. All it takes is a couple of clicks to take a screenshot using this extension.

There is another option in fireshot to capture only selected parts, not the entire page, not only the visible part but the selected part. To use this option, right-click, select fireshot, and then select capture selection.
