Yes, my Shift-F2 ≡ your SHIFT+F2.
But having released fvwm's hold on this key combination, I can see
that pressing it does now give me a prompt at the foot of the window.
However, the simple way (for me) seems to be a right-click in the page,
and "Take a Screenshot" is the last menu item. The image of the full
page appears in the default download location, and has its name
constructed as Screenshot-<YYYY>-<m>-<d> <page title>.png with
subsequent shots labelled with (1) like wget does it. Not the most
elegant name (they sort badly) but sufficient. I much prefer not
having to type.
So thanks for pointing out that tool. It's complements my ^A method of
getting the text, and my scrot methods for the window image.

I shall have to think about ways of handling PNGs that can be tens of
thousands pixels in height.

Blaming FF's inability to create usable PDFS on users' incompetence,
blaming reluctance to use Chrome/ium on FF users' laziness or
bewilderment, name calling and so on.
BTW if this Screenshot method is meant to yield a "printable"
document, I haven't yet figured out how to print it sensibly.
$ lp -d PDF very-long-image.png gives me the image on one page,
and looks, as it happens, like the sort of output that FF sometimes
gives when printing articles: a narrow column of minute text.
Cheers,
David.
