xwd -out foo.xwd

the cursor will change to crosshairs, click in the firefox window and it 
will dump the window to foo.xwd (be careful that you don't have any 
other windows on top of the firefox window.

xwud -in foo.xwd will let you see it.  I think gimp understands xwd as well.

You could also try using ksnapshot
