Talon is a Firefox Add-on developed by Aviary which allows you to screen capture inside Firefox and also edit the captured image online using Falcon Image Markup. Using this add-on, users can quickly capture the selected region or entire web page, save captured images to desktop or even edit the captured image directly in Aviary’s applications.

Once installed, it provides an option in the right click menu as well as on the tool bar. You can take a screen shot of the page or a region and if you are logged into the online account of Aviary, you can even edit the captured image. You can also save the captured images to desktop.

In addition, this add-on also provides another option to directly edit background images or any images on webpage with Falcon online image editor.

It will open Falcon Image Editor and you can do some basic image editing with this editor.

There are several add-ons for Firefox which allow you to take screenshots but the Aviary extension is super easy and best of all you can directly edit the image and save it to your desktop.

Download Aviary Firefox add-on: Talon

Mozilla has launched a new feature that allows users to create "collections" of their favorite Firefox extensions.

Add-on Collections can be organized by theme – i.e. extensions for students or web designers – or as bespoke selections of your favorite browser plug-ins.

Users can simply visit the Collections Directory, browse through the various collections and install the various extensions separately.

Alternatively, you can download the Add-on Collector extension for Firefox, and subscribe to various collections.

The Collector extension will notify you when new add-ons are added to the collection, but they won’t be automatically installed on your browser.

Each collection also has its own RSS feed, so you can keep up-to-date with new additions that way.

Mozilla has created several sample collections to get the ball rolling, but it hopes they will soon be overtaken by user-generated compendiums. Collections that get the most subscribers will be ranked highest on the Collections website.
