Ugh. More features? This kind of thing should be handled by the plugin system – maybe even as a "featured plugin".

All I want is a fast, standards-compliant browser with exactly the features I want, and no more.

It is a plugin. A featured plugin.

It seems like everybody is desperate for Firefox to finish the process architecture overhaul so that we can have a fast alternative to Chrome. It's getting urgent at this point!

Interesting though how Mozilla will be releasing Firefox Screenshots for Chrome too in the future. Chrome's built in screenshot tool in dev tools has been improving in recent versions of Canary, with full screen capture now added. I'll be keen to see how it compares.

Great feature/add-on to have built into Firefox though without the need to get an add-on.

On macOS you can accomplish this (or similar) via cmd+shift+4 and select a box to take a screen grab of.

Oooooooooooohhh I like. A scrapbook of the web, built into the browser. great idea.

Please promise to either host it forever or give it to the internet archive when you are done. This could be a nice cultural catalog of humanity.

It's so cute that you still think so well of this world.

Windows already has this, the Snipping tool! It even allows you to snip applications which aren't webpages!

Didn't we already have this? Just press Shift-F2 and type "screenshot"

Yes. Screenshots is designed to make it easy to share by providing hosting. Also, you can search within the text of the shots you have taken, since in the browser we have access to the actual text, not just the pixels.
