It is recommended that you take a screenshot of the entire page and then take a part of it

Sometimes I need to take a lot of screenshots, but after choosing to take a screenshot of the whole page, there are too many parts of the content, so I want to be able to crop the whole page and then copy and paste it

I'm not I understand what is being requested here. Are you saying you want to capture the full page, then have the ability to crop out several pieces from that screenshot so you can save them individually - from within the screenshots UI? Rather than a separate capture and save flow for each part of the page?

Or something else..

@sfoster Firefox has two options for taking screenshots, one is to take a screenshot of the visible range, but a screenshot of the entire page. Sometimes capturing the visible range is not enough, but choosing to cap the entire interface is too much. So I hope there is a function, that is, after clicking to capture the entire interface, a preview window will appear, and then take a screenshot of a part of it in the preview window, and then copy or save.The preview window I'm talking about is the one in the image below

FWIW: the Linux Mint (and other Linux distributions standard have a screenshot application that allows you to make a choice: whole screen, window or a selection of the part of the screen you choose and to rename and to save that image where you want it to be. No idea which OS you are on. Just my two cents.

Oh interesting. There are actually 4 options, but they are apparently not as obvious as we thought. In addition to the "visible page" and "full page" buttons, you can click anywhere on the page itself to start drawing a rectangle to crop out the bit you want (this is before/separate to the preview dialog you showed.) You can also just hover over the page and we'll highlight elements with a box which you can click to create a selection that way. In either case you'll then have the option to copy to the clipboard or save/download the cropped image.

Do you not get this (we call it the "overlay UI")?
