Came this utterance formulated by Dave Lane to my mailbox:

There looks like there could be several traps using this method for
Aarons needs. 

How do you unload the firefox page, or does it just get overwritten
with the next page requested?

How do you start firefox without chrome?

How do you pipe the screenshot to Imagemagic? 

Does firefox squawk when the page is finished loading? How to get the
screenshot?

Is the full process less or more CPU/memory/time intensive than the
other route? 

Dang - you must have solved a lot of questions ;) Way more than i've
broached here!
