I'm afraid I went the quick and dirty way after asking that, and readded the feature in my copy of firefox 3, attached to this mail is the patch. It's not a strict revert of the patch from that bugreport because everything seems to have changed in Mozilla since last year. The patch applies to the xulrunner-1.9 package on Gentoo, I imagine on other distros xulrunner and firefox aren't split. It's less accurate than the YWMS+Firefox 2 because I couldn't figure out a way to get the exact dimensions of the rendered page. It also causes Firefox to exit after dumping the image so you don't have to close it. I would like to attempt to finish Francisco Santos' work but I noticed his mail too late and I'll be offline for a while. Cheers
