Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Time to update my third-party tool? Possible.
Yes, it looks like the emoji-test page from my first link is a nightmare to capture as an image. The built-in tool of Firefox truncates a large part of the bottom and the other tools I've suggested also failed to capture the whole page.

24.9 MB (25,563 KB) file size to capture those d@mn ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY PAGES.
Compress it to a .7z and it's only 7.03 MB (7,206 KB) but I ran into a brick F'in wall the last time I tried to attach a .7z
So did I, and it worked.
Mine is 15 970 KB, 8 328 KB once compressed to 7z and yes, I also got the HTTP Error as soon as I try to attach it.
Even a 1.4 MB file failed to upload but a 932 KB file passed through. So it looks like the limit is set at about 1 MB but that's not your problem, I'm saying it for the forum admin(s).

Anyway, thanks for your efforts trying to do it :)

Probably K4sum1 failed to configure php.ini correctly to accept a bigger post_max_size/upload_max_size.

Those are configured correctly. It's the server's fault.

Although, yeah, I probably (probably) shouldn't complain about that UNTIL (it will happen eventually, IMO) Firefox/Forks no longer support MV2.
The version included in r3dfox and in the Firefox addon store is MV2 though. There is a uBO Lite that is MV3, and from what I've heard it works pretty well and can even be better than MV2 uBO, but I haven't tried it.
Anyway, it looks like this will soon be obsolete:
