While trying to take a screenshot of a website
- in Firefox
- with
width=300 pixels,,height=600 pixels - with a specific set of extensions activated (within the
default-releaseprofile of Firefox) - from a CLI/bash/Python code I am experiencing some difficulties.
Approach I
First I tried the solution in this anwer code, however ws2 variable remains an empty list, which causes the procs[0][0][1] to remain an empty list [], and I do not yet know how to get the window ID of the new application/firefox instance that is/should be started (such that I can substitute it in:
cmd3 = "xdotool windowsize --sync "+procs[0][0][1]+" "+sys.argv[4]+"% "+sys.argv[5]+"%"
cmd4 = "xdotool windowmove "+procs[0][0][1]+" "+sys.argv[2]+" "+sys.argv[3]
Approach II
Then I learned Firefox has a built-in method to take a screenshot method to take screenshots, which can be called with:
firefox --browser --profile "/home/name/.mozilla/firefox/hzx2x9en.default-release-1669642876156" -screenshot -window-size 360,640 /home/example.png https://startpagina.nl
Which creates the screenshot of the desired size, however it does not apply the extensions within that profile consistently.
I was able to eliminate the "login element" in the top right, as shown in the generated example.png screenshot below:
However, when I remove additional elements, to make the page look like:
The screenshot taken by the cli is not updated accordingly, the same screenshot (without the login icon) is re-created. (I tried rebooting), however the result is still the same.
Question
Hence, I would like to ask: How can I take a screenshot of a website (https://www.startpagina.nl)
- in Firefox
- with
width=300 pixels,,height=600 pixels - with a specific set of extensions activated (within the
default-releaseprofile of Firefox) - from a CLI/bash/Python code (on Ubuntu) ?
Note
One can probably manage this with Selenium however, I thought it might be possible with less boilerplate code.
