Mozilla To Add Screenshot Sharing Feature To Firefox Test Pilot Program (softpedia.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the early-bird dept.

An anonymous reader writes: [Softpedia reports:] "Mozilla plans to include a webpage screenshot sharing feature to Firefox as part of the Test Pilot program, a spokesperson confirmed to Softpedia. The new feature is called Page Shot, and will initially roll out on Firefox Test Pilot in late-Q3 of this year. The Firefox Test Pilot program allows users to test experimental Firefox features using a special add-on. Based on user feedback, those features will end up as built-in Firefox features, or self-standing add-ons." The pageshot.net website is now offline as Mozilla prepares to launch the add-on via Test Pilot, but Softpedia has the screenshots. You can view the screenshots here.

    We've been able to share screenshots for almost 30 years now, this feature better have some neat use cases over traditional methods otherwise I'm sure this'll just be another bloat feature on an already pretty hefty browser.

  2. WTF?!?!?!? by williamyf · · Score: 3, Insightful

    when did Flower+Shift+3/4 or Shift/CTRL/ALT+PrtSCR became such a difficult task that we need a "Feature" in the Browser for ScreenShots?!?!?!?

    Mozila, bloat with gusto!

  3. Yet another unneeded feature! by Slashdot+Junky · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This is another unneeded feature that is to be implemented when resources should be focused on the core purpose of the application. It is a web browser before it is anything else and, in my opinion, should get back to just being this. I don't want any one application to have everything in the kitchen sink as long as I can run multiple applications.
