I use Firefox 41.0 on Windows 7 Sometimes get a small red dot at the top of the tab. I can't figure out what this means? Any ideas?

I'm clueless--how do I make a screen shot a jpeg?

more options

If you type mspaint.exe in the start menu search box and press Enter, that will launch Paint. Then you can paste your screen shot and save it as a PNG file. Unless there is a photo in the image, PNG usually gives the best combination of compression and quality. If there's a photo, JPEG works best.
