Firefox built in screenshot app awkward to use, very basic tools
Are you satisfied with the way it behaves? Do you find the tool awkward to use? Extremely sensitive to movement during capture. Tends to jump around, for lack of a better term. I just tried to copy a portion of a page, and during the in the attempt, it jumped to the bottom of the page, and there was no way to adjust back, so i have to start over.
The other day I wanted to save a full page, but both buttons would only "Save visible". No scroll.
Why is the no option to save in another format? The help article here says you can convert it afterwards.
Hasn't they been enough time to make a few small refinements.
Can you suggest an addon that will do the same jobs better?

This can occur when scrolling is on an interior element of the page rather than the page itself. Without modifying the style rules in the page, which can be complicated to do without destroying the layout, you would need to capture, capture, capture in pieces while scrolling the interior region and then merge the images together. Years ago I saw an extension that could do it, but I didn't keep track of what it was called.
If you want an extension that can easily save to JPEG, try:

Thanks. I posted my concerns.
That's a nice addon. Besides the built in, are there any addons you know of that will "scroll"
