Huh? Did I just add this and got a "Firefox screenshots" icon with it?

  That's a built-in Firefox feature. https://screenshots.firefox.com/ https://screenshots.firefox.com/ I thought it was only included in Nightly builds but I guess they pushed it to Beta?

    I think they pushed it to main? It appeared unsolicited on my toolbar (on Kubuntu) with last update I did -- I would have thought they'd been warded off adding unrequested feature buttons by now. Would it be that hard to have an update page that says "do you want to add $commercialTieInButton"?

      There's no commercial tie-in though. It's 100% first-party.

        It was more a general point, like for the Telefonica button, the Pocket button, etc., this links to a particular image upload tool though doesn't it? Only looked at it long enough to find if I'd got malware.

          Yes but it's run and hosted by Firefox. It's even covered by the Firefox privacy notice.

      Is that really so much different than just sticking a button there and then if you don't want it, you remove that button? If they make it opt-in like you suggest, then a good number of casual users will not understand, because they can't try it without opting in, and therefore ultimately not opt-in, even though they would probably like this feature. (They've had it in the Test Pilot project like the above and got a very good response to it.)
