I always forget Firefox has a builtin screenshot tool. It’s actually super handy, as it recognizes parts of the website by just mouse hover it, such as blocks of code.

It can also take scrolling screenshots.

The only thing I miss it has was an automatic save function after taking a screenshot. This would allow for combining (with a script) the output (file) with another tool (such as editing or uploading to a specific service). But that’s just a nitpick from my side, because of my personal workflow.
Edit: Well I have another great idea how to improve the screenshot utility! It should bet able to hold Ctrl-key on the keyboard, while clicking multiple elements. Just like selecting files in the file browser. And Shift-key to specify a range of clicked areas. Just for the icing on the cake!
Probably not for a few versions, I’m afraid, though vertical tabs (which was part of the feature set they wanted to add) is already in nightly so it’s worth giving that a test every now and again in case tab groups make it.
Hi, thanks for sharing this news, but please post the release notes from the Mozilla website, instead of (or at least along with) a third party service.
Right now on Firefox for Android (I use it on macOS, Windows, Linux, and iOS without issue) I’m only able to sign into websites requiring passkeys with my on-device or Google account passkeys. I can’t sign in using my 1Password passkeys like I do on all the other platforms. There was a bug fix I was watching the status of (got fixed a few weeks or a month ago) that should be included in the next Firefox release (128), fixing this annoying issue :-)

In my experience it doesn’t work too great.
I only found it recently and it’s saved me so much time with being able to take screenshots of whole web page elements.
Whats that feature that groups tabs together for a better workflow that a few other web browsers have? Anyhow is Firefox working on that?
Yes they are
any estimated version of arrival?

Do you mean something like Firefox containers? They already have that feature

Good point. Will do.
Thanks :)

1 more release and 3rd party passkeys will work on Android (ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ~
I’m sorry, third party whatnow? What are passkeys?
Right now on Firefox for Android (I use it on macOS, Windows, Linux, and iOS without issue) I’m only able to sign into websites requiring passkeys with my on-device or Google account passkeys. I can’t sign in using my 1Password passkeys like I do on all the other platforms.

As far as what passkeys are, it’s basically password-less logins: https://passkeys.io and https://passkeys.dev
Ah okay, didn’t find that so quickly! Thanks!
