@ryandesign, OSX does a great job at capturing an image of the screen
but what I'm looking for is the ability to capture the content, links
and pictures of a webpage.  Most webpages are bigger than the screen
(in length) so the only way to capture using OSX screenshot is to
capture a part, scroll, capture another part and then join together
using Gimp/Photoshop.

Firefox supports making screenshots of full webpages out of the box from
the console:

1. Press Shift + F2 (might have to use Fn too, if you have multimedia
    keys enabled)
2. Type "screenshot --fullpage" into the bar that appears at the bottom
3. Press enter, your screenshot will be placed in ~/Downloads

AFAIR there are extensions that improve the UX of this process a bit,
too.

Note that this won't preserve clickable links. If you need clickable
links, PDF is probably the way to go.

Thank you @Clemens & @arno.

I had no idea you could do that with Firefox.  Pretty cool!

FF does capture a png of the site page. While a png is good, it will not allow copy and paste of any of the text and as you mentioned, it won't allow using the links.

I don't like using non-opensource, but it looks like only OneNote and Evernote allow capture of the text, links and pictures. Both allow the links to continue to function and the ability to copy text. I only wish they worked consistently. :-( SOHONotes was better ... when it worked. Sigh.

Thanks again everyone for your help!
