1861846 - Offer setting (about config or elsewhere) to set choice for screenshot coverage

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1867644

(Firefox :: Screenshots, enhancement)

Description

[Molly Harris]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0

Steps to reproduce:

Please create a setting - either in UI or about-config - that would allow one to simply automatically take a full-page screenshot (or a visible screenshot) without being required to make a choice each time.

Hello Molly, thank you for the enhancement suggestion!

A possible workaround, if it’s more comfortable for you this way: you can open Developer Tools(Ctrl+Shift+I), go to Settings(F1), then enable the ‘Take a screenshot of the entire page’ preference, and then click on the Camera button in the top right corner of the DevTools toolbar. The screenshot will be taken automatically without having to choose between the ‘Save visible’ and ‘Save Full Page’ options.

Settings as NEW so the developers can have a look.

Our proposed solution for this is in bug 1867644 - where we plan to remember the last choice and pre-focus that button in the UI. That will streamline the whole flow from the keyboard so you can just ctrl+shift+s, enter, enter. If that sounds like a good alternative, I can close this bug as a dupe of that one.

We have a fix in progress in bug 1867644 for this - it will remember the last choice you made and automatically focus the appropriate button.
