Nov 14, 2017Web and InternetComments (0)
Firefox Screenshots is a feature that allows you to take, download, collect, and share screenshots. Mozilla added it to version 56 of Firefox. If you don't need it or never use it, here's how you can disable it.
Browser Configuration
Type about:config into the URL bar of a new tab. You'll be warned with a message about tinkering with the browser settings. Go ahead and continue. Next you'll see a page full of options. In the search bar, put in extensions.screenshots.disabled. This will filter the list of options down to the one option you need to change.
The result window should now display just one option, like in the screenshot below. You'll notice that the value is false. Double-click it and it should flip to true.
This change will take effect immediately, though you may want to restart your browser just in case.
