I think you just need to add a delay such that firefox can boot & load the URL.

export DISPLAY=:99
Xvfb :99 & firefox -browser
firefox -url http://www.google.com & sleep 5 && import -display $DISPLAY -window root googledotcom.png

where the screen shot will be stored ? – Abhishek Tripathi May 25 '16 at 04:23
Wherever you want it. The last argument in the `import` utility will be the destination path. – emcconville May 25 '16 at 11:10
