Now that PDF.js has editing capability, creating a new PDF document with the captured screenshot image as content gives us a way to annotate the image.
We want a pref to add this as an option alongside the copy and download buttons, and to explore how to generate the new PDF document with the image, presumably opening the result into a new tab.

This would be nice as, with the new editing capabilities we are building, we could also allow people to do things like highlight important parts of the web page, etc..

creating a new PDF document with the captured screenshot image as content
FWIW, if a user captures a "pdf screenshot" of a whole page, they may naturally expect that text will be selectable, links will be clickable, etc. With some work, we could theoretically offer that (on Android we have 'Share | Save as PDF' which is similar, though it's really closer to print-to-pdf).
It might be worth wiring something like that up, instead of or at the same time as we hypothetically add features to put rasterized images into a PDF. (Or, it might be worth eventually offering via similar nearby UI, for users who are expecting/wanting that sort of outcome when they discover this functionality.)
We have https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/opera-like-save-as-pdf-for-firefox-desktop/idc-p/43868 as one user-request for this sort of functionality, at least.
I would be very interested in that feature too, as stated in
https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/opera-like-save-as-pdf-for-firefox-desktop/idc-p/38823
The "save as pdf" in Opera is great and renders much better than a "print to PDF"
If there was an option to split the produced PDF at page boundaries, it would be nice too.
In case it might be of interest, in the produced PDF, the document properties mentions "PDF Producer: Skia/PDF m127"
