Unable to resize selection using Take a Screenshot on Touchscreen Device

This issue popped up when updating to Firefox 57. Running Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 2, in touchacreen mode.

When I use the Take a Screenshot tool, I cannot drag at all, not to make a selection, or using the white dots to adjust a selection. No amount of furious tapping helps.

Accessibility services aren't being prevented in the options.

Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately the addon doesn't seem to be working at all for me. I enabled gestures on left click and restarted, but nothing. Either I'm not configuring it correctly, or it doesn't work with touch devices.

Maybe use the builtin developer tools instead. You can right-click a node in the left pane in the Inspector to be able to take a screenshot of this node. That is probably the closest thing to using a selection.

There is also a button available to take a full page screenshot.
