With Screenshots, saving and sharing the things you see online is as easy as a click.<\/p>\n<p>Screenshots started as Page Shot in <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2016\/05\/10\/mozilla-launches-test-pilot-a-firefox-add-on-for-trying-experimental-new-features\/\">Test Pilot<\/a> \u2013 a program that allows users to test drive potential new features for Firefox. The feature proved its worth quickly as we watched it become the most downloaded experiment in the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2016\/05\/10\/you-can-help-build-the-future-of-firefox-with-the-new-test-pilot-program\/\">history of Test Pilot<\/a>. To make the Screenshots experience even better, our team dedicated time to reviewing usability tests and event metrics to better understand how the feature was being used. With that in mind, Firefox <a href=\"https:\/\/screenshots.firefox.com\/\">Screenshots<\/a> allows you to take, save and share screenshots \u2013 all without leaving your browser.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n<p>First, Screenshots lets you capture a screen within your Firefox browser without downloading any new software. Either click and drag to grab the content you want, or because Screenshots is web aware, let Screenshots do it for you. \u00a0Just hover over the area you want to grab, let Screenshots automatically identify the outline of the area you\u2019re looking at, then click.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10875\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10875\" style=\"width: 588px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10875\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screenshot_Image_2-300x155.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"588\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/09\/Screenshot_Image_2-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/09\/Screenshot_Image_2-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/09\/Screenshot_Image_2-600x309.png 600w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/09\/Screenshot_Image_2.png 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10875\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot lets you click and drag to grab the content you want<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can choose the screenshots you want to save, and easily access your saved screenshots through a toolbar in your browser. Firefox automatically stores your screenshots in the cloud for two weeks, but you can change the expiration date or delete them anytime from your online library. You can also easily share your screenshots as a link with anyone, no matter what device they\u2019re on or browser they use \u2013 all without having to click or save before you share. Try it out and discover what our Test Pilots loved so much about the feature.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bLVavm-HKEY?rel=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"505\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>Stop emailing links to yourself! Send Tabs is here to the rescue <\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Firefox is giving users a quicker way to share content between all of your mobile and desktop devices. It\u2019s called Send Tabs.<\/p>\n<p>Send Tabs provides the quickest route for users to instantly send any web page to and from your desktop, mobile browser, or any mobile app. This means you don\u2019t have to email yourself links anymore! And your data is encrypted end-to-end. Even Mozilla can\u2019t decrypt it.<\/p>\n<p>Check it out for yourself:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CM40b14i41M?rel=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"505\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Save time and breeze through checkout with form autofill<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re making a new online purchase or making a donation to a relief organization, filling out forms is tedious. Starting in the US, we\u2019ll be gradually rolling out this feature to all your desktop devices to make it easier to fill out most address forms.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox now allows users to complete online forms with multiple input fields like the address fields on your favorite shopping site, by simply selecting a suggestion from the autocomplete dropdown. When users first fill in a form on a compatible website, Firefox automatically saves the field data to \u201cSaved Addresses\u201d under Options (Preferences) so users can reuse such information with forms on new websites.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10879\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10879\" style=\"width: 749px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10879\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Autofill-2-300x151.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"749\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/09\/Autofill-2-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/09\/Autofill-2-600x303.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/09\/Autofill-2.jpg 622w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10879\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Firefox now saves addresses so you can fill out forms faster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Users can also save multiple addresses, so you can add work and home addresses of friends and family.
