firefox take a screenshot template?
Is there a way to edit the template to show just the subject title and the date? Or at least show those items first?

I'm using the Firefox built-in screensaver app. As an example, I just took a screenshot of your response on this page.
This is the title:
Screenshot 2025-06-12 at 14-23-43 firefox take a screenshot template Firefox Support Forum Mozilla Support
I don't want or need to be told it is a screenshot, or the time, or the date, especially if that comes before the actual title, and simply "Mozilla Support" would be more that enough. Also, that title is too long. It would have to edited to to fit in some windows sub-folders.
Other screenshot apps offer the option to structure the template to suit the user. Nimbus Screen Capture was one of them, but it started having problems a while back and development has stopped, but this is what it looks like

I dislike Firefox screenshot and never use it, but yes, that is by far the worst file naming process I've ever seen! ;-))

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no simple built-in way to change the naming template or the default screenshot type. We would appreciate submitting the idea on Mozilla Connect (I believe I've seen a similar discussion there, but I can't find it now).
Also, please check out the workaround suggested by Agent virtuel!
By the way, here are some discussions about adding different file formats:

That workaround? I followed it to it's Youtube conclusion. Can you give me a simple explanation of what that was about, beyond the subject at hand. First, it is in French, but there is no sound. As far as I can see, it places the Firefox screenshot icon on the web-console toolbar, with the sole function of taking a full page screenshot, without a "save as" option.noel_envode said

What is the basic difference between simply placing the built in screenshot button here, which is far more functional, and I don't have to open the web-console to use it. In the video, they were typing something. Was that a title, or a one-time template, or a permanent template?
What is supposed to be the benefit?

No, this is hard-coded -> https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/screenshots/fileHelpers.mjs#108

I believe it's better to go to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?q=screenshot and find an add-on that suits your needs.
