A little OT, but how can I enable/use the Screenshots feature? I cannot find it.

Right click -> Take a Screenshot

  Is there a way to trigger a full screen screenshot via Selenium/WebDriver? (not a partial/window screenshot - that I can do)
  - mcintyre1994 9y ago
    If I'm understanding correctly, could you just select the body tag and screenshot that? In Selenium Python that'd be: # driver is a Firefox driver body = driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body') screenshot = body.screenshot_as_base64 # png bytes

      Just tried this - doesn't seem to work: - a lot of (visible) elements are missing - the screenshot is still cropped to whatever viewport is used
      - mcintyre1994 9y ago
        Definitely just speculating here, but there is a `driver.save_screenshot(path)` method that would probably be worth trying. This worked for me: from selenium.webdriver import Firefox from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options geckodriver_path = '/usr/local/bin/geckodriver' options = Options() options.add_argument('-headless') driver = Firefox(executable_path=geckodriver_path, firefox_options=options) url='https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16576015' driver.get(url) driver.save_screenshot('./hn.png')

    Firefox has a screenshot feature that I'd like to trigger from Selenium, which is by going through the "..." icon in the URL bar which opens up a menu with its last item being "Take a screenshot" (and then you can select a full page screenshot). Is there a way to programmatically trigger this feature or sequence?

  Also, there are three dots next to the address bar, where it can be found.

    If you open that menu with the three dots, then control-click on the Screenshots menu item, you can add a Screenshot button to the address bar.

It's the lowest item in the context menu when you rightclick anywhere on a website.

I think that's been around for a while, right? It's under my right-click menu.

  I cannot see it there either. https://postimg.org/image/dexsmbvp9/ https://postimg.org/image/dexsmbvp9/

On the right-hand side of the location bar, there's a Page actions menu (the 3 dots) which includes taking a screenshot.

    Are you sure you've updated your browser? I have the option in that menu.
    - odabaxok 9y ago
      Sure, I have. This feature is there for a long time as of my understanding (since Quantum, maybe?). I have tried this feature when it was only in test pilot mode, but then I removed it (that was a long time ago). Can this be related? https://postimg.org/image/gw4g2vk3h/ https://postimg.org/image/gw4g2vk3h/

    Did screenshots somehow get disabled? In about:config, check the value of the extensions.screenshots.disabled pref.
    - odabaxok 9y ago
      No it was never disabled. Also, I have tried to disable it and enable it again and restart the browser and similar things...
      - rebelwebmaster 9y ago
        Weird. Maybe try filing a bug to see if someone who works on that feature has any other ideas. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&component=Screenshots https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&c...

Hey, Screenshots person here...this is a new one to me. My only thoughts would be the pref flip that seems to be ruled out at this point, or that you're trying to shoot an about:[SOMETHING] page for which we disable screenshots. Otherwise, file an issue: https://github.com/mozilla-services/screenshots/issues https://github.com/mozilla-services/screenshots/issues We're triaging in an hour or so :)
