I was trying to accomplish the same task, but the images I wanted to grab were the size of my monitor (wallpaper) -- so the capture screenshot workaround didn't work for me. I figured out a way to do it...

I've got selenium set up to go to the page I want (which induces all the session goodies) Then I used a program called "Workspace Macro" to loop through the selenium tasks.

Grab it from here http://www.tethyssolutions.com/product.htm -- they have a trial version, which I think works for 30 runs or something.

So here's the progression:

• start firefox
• open selenium and load test case
• start it, but quickly pause it.
• record a macro, which pushes "step" on selenium, then goes over to the firefox window and clicks file->save page as, saves, then stop recording
• run the macro x times...
• profit??
