Details

(Whiteboard: [screenshots-extension])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

Click Ctrl+Shift+S for more than 5 seconds

Actual results:

Firefox was frozen on the "Take a screenshot screen"

Expected results:

Firefox should take a screenshot and not freeze

I can reproduce the issue on Nightly82.0a1 Windws10.
ESC key and Cancel button also would not work.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Component: Untriaged → Screenshots
Ever confirmed: true

Marking as P3.
When I follow the STR, I see that it eventually shows the "We can't screenshot this page" message, and the only way around it is to reload the page.

Severity: -- → S4
Priority: -- → P3

This seems to only affect the extension implementation. When screenshots.browser.component.enabled is true, the page flickers as we repeatedly show and hide the UI - which isn't great - but the browser doesnt freeze and there's no loss of functionality.
