Firefox natively supports this.

`document.designMode = "on"` in the console in any browser.

Full page screenshots are actually supported by FF, Chrome and Safari (even on mobile). For some reason, the feature is always hidden in some absurd place https://www.idownloadblog.com/2021/04/08/capture-full-page-s...

only Firefox let you decide what exact area you want to screenshot tho (not limited to full page)

MS Edge "Web Capture" gives you the option to screenshot the full page or select an area.

Chrome: Open DevTools (F12 or sth), go to page, select the HTML node, right click, take screenshot.

I wish Firefox would natively let us silently take full page screenshots from a keyboard shortcut. It is (currently) a three click operation, but they seem to change the steps and graphics for it every year or so.

CTRL+SHIFT+s does the trick for me, on Linux. I don't remember to have enabled it explicitly, so probably it works out of the box

It works on Windows too. You can also right-click on an empty section of the page and click Take Screenshot.

That hotkey only opens the graphical overlay to take a screenshot. So not silent and additional steps required.

Definitely works out of the box. Cmd+Shift+S on Mac.

What are the steps to take a screenshot in Firefox?

I could not find it in the menus.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Ah context-menu (typically right-click) gets you to "Take Screenshot"
