1722774 - Add/enable telemetry to know which of the region selection methods are used

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Screenshots, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Sam Foster [:sfoster] (he/him)]

Screenshots offers a few options for deciding which part of the current document you want a screenshot of. You can select:

• "Visible" - just the viewport, no scrolling
• "Full Page" - capture the full, scrolled page
• Custom region - use the drag handles to draw the box size and position to capture on the current page
• Element - use the highlighter to select element bounds to capture

As we migrate to a browser component, it would be useful to know which of these methods are used and how often. If possible we should record the method at the time of saving/copying the image so we know which method was ultimately selected.
