Mozilla Firefox offers you a new feature, allowing you to enable or disable the Screenshot tool in the Firefox browser. This setting is displayed as an icon on the browser's toolbar and has been updated by developers since Mozilla Firefox 55.0. By double-clicking on the configuration option in Firefox, you can activate this tool and help you copy a region, a part of a webpage, or the entire page. However, not everyone knows about this new feature, so through the following article, we'll share with you how to activate and deactivate the Screenshot tool in the Firefox browser.

Firefox allows you to save screenshots on your device, but if you need to upload online images, you should upload them to the same page on screenshots.firefox.com as it is a simpler way to share online images. The browser retains these screens online for a two-week period. However, upon completion of your task, it has the option to delete screenshots before two weeks. And while screenshots are used for more than two weeks, you can change or extend the online time. You can find saved screenshots on Firefox by clicking on My Shots.
Although this option is very useful in helping us capture screenshots of displayed web pages, it entirely depends on you whether you want to enable or disable the Screenshot tool in Firefox browser. Therefore, with the above guide, you can customize this tool to suit its usage. Furthermore, if you don't like using this built-in browser screenshot tool, you can use other add-ons such as NativeShot, the NativeShot Firefox screenshot method that we introduced earlier, which is also favored by many users.
