Firefox 55: Turn on screenshots

If you use the program s Firefox and updated it to 55.0 version, you may have noticed the new "Shot Page" icon in the browser toolbar.

This icon authorizes Firefox to copy a screenshot that interests you. If you do not see it, it's because it's gradually being released to users of the new Firefox.Firefox 55

This does not mean, however, that the for screenshots is not already available in your browser. It's there but you'll need to activate it before you can use it. Those of you who are already watching it, better read something else.

Note: Make sure you are using the Firefox 55 update. You can check the version of the program from:

about: support

Let's see how activation can take place:

Open the following address in your browser and accept that you do not care if you lose the warranty: firefox

about: config? filter = extensions.screenshot

You will see two different parameters:
Extensions.screenshots.disabled - This is the main parameter. The false value means that the display function is on, while the true value means that it is disabled.

Expansions.screenshots. disabled – The Mozilla Foundation uses this parameter to control its development of the screenshot. If set to true, the screenshot mode is disabled regardless of what Extensions.screenshots.disabled is set to. If set to false, the screenshot feature is enabled if Extensions.screenshots.disabled is set to false.

To disable the screenshot functionality in Firefox, set the extension.screenshots.disabled to true.
To enable the screenshot functionality in Firefox, set Expansions.screenshots.system disabled to false and extension.screenshots.disabled to false as well.

You can change to true and false by double-clicking on the parameter of your choice.

To remove the new Firefox tool from your browser's address bar, right-click on the icon and choose to remove it from the toolbar.

To take a screenshot with your browser click on the icon to activate the function. The screenshot tool supports capturing an area, the visible part of one or the entire page.

You can save screen shots on your system or upload them to screenshots.firefox.com to share them online. The Mozilla Foundation keeps screenshots online for two weeks by default, but you can delete them at any time, or even expand the storage date.
