    "Take a screenshot" missing from context menu in Firefox 71.0


    I have a new desktop computer (Windows 10.0.18363) - replaced a Windows 7 machine just before Microsoft ceased support - that I just configured a few days ago.

    As I've been doing for 15 years, I was easily able to port my Firefox profile and settings from the old computer to the new, so my browsing experience - cookies, passwords, history - works exactly the same as before.

    But for some reason, the "take a screenshot" context menu item is missing now. This is NOT the same as the "page action" (three dots) > "take a screenshot" in the address bar. This is a better tool that allows one to adjust the area being screenshotted, and capture just that, and it's accessed from the context menu in Firefox in other Win10 computers I use.

    This has nothing to do with the extensions.screenshots.disabled and extensions.screenshots.upload-disabled settings from about:config. Both of these are set to false for me.

    I am sure this is related not to FF 71 (all my computers update to the latest FF when it's released), but to my doing something wrong in configuring my new computer.

    Anyway - how do I add the "take a screenshot" capability to my FF 71 context menu, as it is in other Win10 installations I have?

    :)

  2. Custom context menu entries

    So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

    I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

    It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

    So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

    What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

    So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown "Take a screenshot" missing from context menu in Firefox 71.0 :(

    Context menu problem

    Hi,

    Your concern with the context menu can be due to the configuration of your device and/or broken system files. To better understand your concern, we'd like to know the following:

    • The last known changes made/activities performed on your device prior to your concern.
    • If you've experienced your concern on all areas in Windows 10 where context menu is expected to be available. Examples are File Explorer and desktop icons.
    • The version and build of Windows 10 that you're using on your device. To check this, you can perform the steps posted on this

      link
      .

    In addition, we'd like to request for a screenshot of your concern with the context menu.

    In the meantime, we'd recommend performing a clean boot in Windows to isolate software conflicts on your device. To do this, you can perform the steps posted on this link.
    In the clean boot environment, check if you'll be able to load the usual options for the context menu. The link will also provide steps to isolate the possible cause of the issue. Once you're done troubleshooting, check the How
    to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
    section to revert your device to normal boot.

    If you still experience your concern while in the clean boot environment, we'd recommend creating a new user/administrator account to isolate profile related issues. To do this, you can perform the steps posted on this

    link
    .

    We look forward to your response.
