I'm trying to capture LARGE Google maps (in excess of my largest possible monitor resolution).

I tried the tutorial at the link below, and followed it to the letter.

http://www.dq.winsila.com/tips-tricks/how-to-capture-large-maps-from-google-maps.html

After saving the text file as "***.html" I try to open it in Firefox and all I see is the actual code. It doesn't open the big map in my browser window. JFI, I tried also after disabling the NoScript and AdBlock Plus extensions. I also made sure to allow java, javascript and pop-up windows in Firefox prefs...that's all I can figure out to do.

Long-Time user "Las_Vegas" over at MOSXH Forums has no trouble with the method. He made a couple recommendations but I've had no luck. I know this almost like asking someone to become a mindreader, but since I can't get this to work in ANY browser I'm wondering if the culprit might be in my ../BootVolume/Library/Internet Plug-Ins. I can't figure out how I could tell without trading them in and out. BUT, If I trade them out of that folder for testing purposes, what I'm trying to access and do through the Google API might not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In case anyone can suss the problem just by looking at the code, or wants to try the capture for themselves, here it is. I'm using Seinfeld's apartment address from the TV show as an example:
Code:
