Let us Screenshot the complete Firefox Window

[idna001]

I often use the Firefox screenshot tool, but I always forget that I can take a photo only from the content window.

I would like to have an option, where I can capture the entire Firefox/screen window, including the inspector and toolbar.

Because I do not have this option (or I do not know a workaround) I always have to use an external screen capture tool....

Of course, I can always use an external screen capture tool, but it would be great if there is such an option in the Firefox itself.

Thanks for an Upvote 

I would love to see this in a new Firefox update.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Sorry, I fail to see the need for Firefox to go into 'screenshot' territory.

For full, or window, or selectable area screenshots I'm sure all operating systems have it covered already.

Flameshot or Spectacle got this for me.

Firefox screenshot is actually just a webpage snapshotter.

Maybe the name should be changed.

'Screenshot' is covered by the operating system. Flameshot/Spectacle have it all covered for me.

Firefox might consider renaming 'Screenshot' - because this is misleading.

Maybe rename it 'Webshot' or something else to make it a little more accurate.

My knee-jerk reaction is the same - all the major OSes now include screenshot tools by default, and for more detailed/advanced requirements there are good 3rd party applications. It doesn't make sense for Firefox to try to compete with those. However, I don't think there are insurmountable technical reasons why we couldn't screenshot a browser window if there was a strong need to do so. Maybe its sometimes important to capture the URL bar alongside the content document to more easily attribute the screenshot for example?

Hay,

Thanks for the comments and upvotes.

I understand that there are a lot of Screenshot Tools with many features. I also use some if I want to highlight some points.

But if I just want to make a Simple Screenshot of a Site, I like how easy and performant the Firefox Screenshot Tool works. But sometimes I also want to include the URL Bar (or other Tabs)

Then I'm limited with this feature.

Including the URL somehow would make my life easier already - what do you think? Do you also sometimes have the same need?

Ah, I'm sorry I should have asked *why* you wanted to include the toolbar in the screenshot. Yes, I agree that capturing the URL along with the screenshot - along with potentially other metadata like the date, title etc - would be very useful. We have a bug on file for this - let me know if that would work for you and feel free to add any details or context.

Please upgrade so that you can capture everything outside of the capture

웹 내부만 캡쳐한다는건 말이 안됩니다

It makes no sense to capture only the inside of the web.

Screenshots for toolbars

Can we allow the screenshot addon to take screenshots of the entire browser, including toolbars. Its a minor change, and I don't think it means much, but still. Also the "save full page" and "save visible" should not take the screenshots of the toolbars...Perhaps extra options like "save full page(toolbars included)" and "save visible(toolbars included)"

@Somebody1 if that aligns with your request, we can merge the two threads (and combine the kudos) to keep the conversation focused in one space. Just let me know 😃
