When taking a screenshot with the built in screenshot tool, Firefox adds extra transparent space to the images on the right and bottom. I have tried in troubleshoot mode and the same thing happens.

I have attached the dialogue screen that pops up when I take a screenshot and here you can see the extra space added. I am very confused why this happens and it is really annoying as it makes this tool effectively useless.

Your screenshot is showing what you see before downloading. Download it and then look at it.

Does it still happen in a new profile without signing into sync? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile.

Are you using special display settings that affect DPI and other CSS pixel conversions ?
