Anyone who's running 67 (in beta now) will lose the ability to upload screenshots for sharing.

Weird move from Firefox, especially as they start promoting Firefox Send. Screenshots as a whole is an essential feature to me that really helped set it apart from Chrome. The hosted screenshots aren't integral, but I'm disappointed that they're taking away functionality for stated reasons that aren't particularly interesting.

I don't get why they don't integrate Screenshots with FF Send.

Back when this change to Screenshots was announced, it wasn't known whether Send would be a successful experiment.

We have discussed it.

I hope that you do end up doing it. This seems like the perfect kind of thing to use Send for, removes the need for mozilla to maintain extra infrastructure (maybe just a STUN server? I haven't looked at the Send architecture) and would let people keep the files up for as long as they'd like at the same time.
