> The ‘Take a Screenshot’ feature was removed from the Page Actions menu in the url bar. To take a screenshot, right-click to open the context menu. You can also add a screenshots shortcut directly to your toolbar via the Customize menu. Open the Firefox menu and select Customize… ...why. Obviously it's easy to add it to the overflow bar, but it was handy having it there. Especially on pages that block right-clicking (including for good reasons, like games).

  Thanks! This always bugs me. Maybe not disabling right-click has legitimate uses in things like games, but I only ever seen to see it used spitefully.

    It's more 'override right click' and is useful for eg. Google Docs to use application-specific context actions. Unfortunately I agree that most sites override it just to disable it, though.

There's a service that I pay for which disables right click, spams copyright notice modals every single time I try to copy any text and replaces the text I copied with useless copyright messages. It's so incredibly obnoxious it makes me want to scrape their content off their website out of pure spite.

Here[1]'s the why: With the removal of the meatball menu in the proton work, we'd like to move the Take a Screenshot button to the toolbar to allow users to hide it or put it in the overflow menu rather than being visible all the time. ??? Edit: Also great to see how they brush over existing users who have pinned the screenshot action to the toolbar, which is something you can do with all page actions (who knew?!). We had discussed it before as a possibility, but I just confirmed with Romain that it's out of scope. For reference, ~15k users have screenshots pinned to the URL bar and engaged with it within a 1 month period. So apparently 15k people did know and now have to manually fix the regression, assuming they know how to do it. I still find it creepy that they gather data this specific, and of course users who disable "telemetry" mean nothing to them, they don't exist.

  > I still find it creepy that they gather data this specific I'd be super happy if gathering such specific data by any application meant to the developers "15k users are using this feature, there is no way we can break their workflow" instead of "there's only 15k users out of [x], that's just 0.x%, we can ignore them".

I absolutely block everything personal using uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger + FF's built in stuff, but I definitely see the value in tracking feature use.
