Hello,

I would like store a link to an image on my win 7 desktop in my firefox bookmarks.

I would like it to open it either in windows or mozilla firefox.

It will be used to call annotated screen shots saved from a screenshot addon that allows you to download your annotated screenshot/capture.

This is for the privacy factor when researching on the web.

Is there an addon or someone who can relate to my experience?

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

jpeek345

P.S. I did not see an option to 'edit' here at support.mozilla.org for my OP. Only after replying to it. Is it me?

If you drag the image from your desktop and drop it onto a Firefox tab to load it, Firefox then should let you bookmark that particular image. However, I can't think of a way to easily add many such bookmarks without going through that process for each image.

If you plan to place the images in a folder, you could drag and drop the folder onto the tab and bookmark that. Firefox then should show the contents of the folder as links when you call up that bookmark.

Regarding add-ons, there are many screenshot-related extensions, but I don't know whether any of them have a bookmarking or other indexing feature for saved screenshots. Would be handy.

You can open the image file in Firefox via File > Open file or by dragging the file in a Firefox tab, possibly on empty space on the tab bar or the new tab (+) button. Then you can click the star on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the link if that is what you want to achieve. Click the star a second time to move it to another folder.

Note that current Firefox versions have a built-in feature to take a screenshot as one of the Developer Toolbar commands (Shift+F2; 3-bar Firefox menu button > Developer or Tools > Web Developer).

You can use this if you only need a screenshot occasionally because you need to use a command line and can't click a button or use the context menu.

  • A quick way to save a screenshot is to press the "s" and press the Tab key to accept the screenshot autocomplete suggestion.
  • You can press the F1 key to get a Help pop-up with suggestions where you can select an entry with the cursor key and press Tab to copy the entry to the command line
  • You can type a space and two hyphens (--) to see the options list of a command and use the Tab key to copy the highlighted entry (e.g. fullpage or clipboard) to the command line.

Note that some commands have their own options and you can type two hyphens another time to see the extra options.

  • The default file name is "Screen Shot yyyy-mm-dd at HH.MM.SS.png" in the download directory.
  • For more help, use this command: help screenshot

Hi jpeek345, have you considered Scrapbook? I think it captures the HTML rather than a screenshot, so it offers full text searching. There actually appear to be numerous Scrapbook variants:

Yes I demoed SB yesterday. For the peculiar stumbling upon I do on the web- I need something even faster believe it or not. If there is a way to both snap a photo then annotate the page (like SVG graphics...really, we are so behind) ...have the text-layer-only searched, categorized, and made wicked dependable to call....with minimum cpu drag...I believe I just gave away a profitable bookmarking sys. ennaway jscher2000, i thank you. maybe I can tweak SB so that I can save only text as SB saves about 5MB a page on average. It will be like someones mp3 collection in size once I was through, lol. Thanks again though.
