(A feature that Chrome doesn\u2019t have built in. Just sayin\u2019.)<\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Use Screenshots?<br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes you want to repost something from Facebook to Pinterest, or vice versa. Sometimes you want to pause a video or animation and grab an image at just the right moment. And sometimes you want to share only the most important part of a web page, rather than forwarding a link to the entire thing.<\/p>\n<p>To do those things better, Firefox Screenshots includes new features like \u201cCopy to Clipboard,\u201d where you can paste images into a document without having to save to your desktop first.<\/p>\n<p>Screenshots also supports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/features\/private-browsing\/\">Private Browsing<\/a> Mode, so you don\u2019t have to save to the cloud, where there could be an online record of what you\u2019ve captured. When you exit Private Browsing, Firefox automatically deletes your downloads from that session, which means you don\u2019t have to clean up screenshots on your computer after you\u2019ve captured and sent them.<\/p>\n<p>Screenshots is included automatically in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/new\/\">new Firefox<\/a>, so give it a try. Just click and drag to select the area you want. Or hover and click, and Screenshots will select the area for you. You\u2019ll never go back to the old ways of dragging and dropping images, trying to \u201cprint\u201d your browser window, or taking a photo of your computer screen and then emailing it with your phone.<\/p>\n<p>Screenshots. It\u2019s exactly what you need to share exactly what you\u2019re seeing on-screen. <a href=\"https:\/\/screenshots.firefox.com\/#tour\">Check it out today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lv0Mp2ZBKSE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A \u201cscreenshot\u201d is created when you capture what\u2019s on your computer screen, so you can save it as a reference, put it in a document, or send it as an image file for others to see exactly what you see.
