But maybe you don\u2019t know how that makes it both more functional <i>and<\/i> way more fun.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-699 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2018\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-1.31.00-PM.png\" alt=\"Firefox has screenshots\" width=\"855\" height=\"482\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a veteran of using old-style screenshot tactics, you know it used to involve a lot of saving to the desktop or cloud, re-finding the image files in a mass of similar file names, then having to crop or otherwise \u201cfix up\u201d the images before <i>re-saving them<\/i> and getting them into a google doc, presentation, or other platform.<\/p>\n<p>Kiss all that repetitive-stress goodbye. (And if you still take photos of your computer screen with your phone and email them to yourself, well no <a href=\"http:\/\/whatis.techtarget.com\/definition\/moire-effect\">Moire<\/a> of that, either!)<\/p>\n<h3><b>Why Use Firefox Screenshots?<\/b><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Function<\/b>:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Firefox Screenshots includes new features like <a href=\"https:\/\/screenshots.firefox.com\/#how-screenshots-works\"><b>Copy to Clipboard<\/b><\/a>, where you can paste images into a document without having to save to your desktop first.<\/li>\n<li>Screenshots also supports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/features\/private-browsing\/\"><b>Private Browsing Mode<\/b><\/a>, so you don\u2019t have to save to the cloud or clean up screenshots on your computer after you\u2019ve used them!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Fun<\/b>:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><b> Make Presentations More Engaging<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A picture tells a thousand words. And many presentations could use about a few thousand words <i>less<\/i>. (Okay, maybe not a thousand less. But <i>maybe<\/i>.) Screenshots is a quick way to gather images, get your point across, and be out!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> Hit Those Time-Sensitive Meme Turnarounds <\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Culture waits for nobody, and in a heated meme battle with your online frenemies, grabbing images right from the browser can mean the difference between being first to the joke, or last to the lulz.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> Motivation and Goal Mapping<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u201cIf at first you see it in your mind, you\u2019ll bullseye it here on your face.\u201d (That\u2019s what a dart champ in Hamburg once told us.) So whenever we need to bullseye our face, instead of saving links or typing a bunch of \u201creminders,\u201d we straight grab the image and put it somewhere it can be <i>visualized<\/i>. VIsualization helps the brain to remember, organize, and prioritize. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2014\/10\/07\/business\/goal-mapping-career-success\/index.html\">Mapping goals<\/a> ftw!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> Heartwarming Images for the Home<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Visualization works in our private lives, too. Whether planning a must-see summer vacation list, gathering recipes, shopping for a sofa, or making get well cards with inside-jokes about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/food\/dangerous-desserts-liquid-nitrogen-t118103\">dragons, ice cream and chocolate steam<\/a>, Screenshots makes pictures effortless.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> Freeze It!<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A lot of online content comes and goes. Videos run a hot minute. Social posts cycle in seconds. The truth is, Screenshots works like a quick \u201cmental note\u201d for our online lives, without getting us out of the browser when we need to focus. That\u2019s why we try to\u2014quick, \u201cFreeze it\u201d!\u2014and then just keep grinding.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox Screenshots is included automatically in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/new\/\">new Firefox<\/a>, so give it a try! The new Firefox is fast, and Screenshots is one of the gems that adds the fun to new functionality.<\/p>\n<p>As Kevin Kelly (co-founder of <i>Wired Magazine<\/i>) said two years ago in <a href=\"https:\/\/air.mozilla.org\/twelve-technology-forces-shaping-the-next-30-years-interview-with-kevin-kelly\/\">an interview with Mozilla<\/a> (the not-for-profit behind Firefox), \u201cThe internet is the world\u2019s largest copy machine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To that we say, Firefox Screenshots makes the copy machine sing.
