Used to be able to use the "screen shots" option under the ellipsis (3 dots) in the address bar, and now just today, that is not available to me!! Additionally, all of my add-ons were removed and I had to reinstall them, but I don't think there is an add on for the screenshot function - thought that was part of Firefox itself.

Would you please do this :

Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)

Type in the search bar and look for the preference :

extensions.screenshots.disabled

and make sure that its value is set to false

Then close and restart Firefox (unless the value was already set to "false").

Do you see the Firefox Screenshot extension listed under the Firefox Features section on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page?

Thanks - It was already set to "False"

I finally broke down and used the Firefox "RESET" button, which i'd been avoiding as I have a few add-ons. This did fix the problem. Thanks to all who made suggestions!

When you click on the three horizontal dots (Page Action) at the end of the address bar : do you see 'Take a Screenshot' there  ?

'Looks like you solved the problem while I was typing this post .....

Well done  !

Would you be so kind as to mark your own (last) post as Chosen Solution  ?
