I am writing to report an issue I have encountered while using the Firefox browser. Specifically, I am unable to take screenshots on the website https://hescoebill.pk/hesco-mis/. This issue persists despite numerous attempts, and it seems to be unique to this particular website. Is there any other way to take screenshot of site? I really want to take a screenshot for personal reason. Is it not allowed from the site owner side or what?

What methods have you tried so far?

  • Ctrl+Shift+S
  • Right-click a blank area of the page > Take Screenshot (to bypass a site custom right-click menu, hold the Shift key down while right-clicking)
  • Use the scissors button you can add to your toolbar with the Customize feature (Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars)

Screenshots work for me on the linked page. It can fail if the page title is too long which will be fixed in version 127 (Bug 1818862).

@zeroknight

Is this a old bug?

The bug seems to go back to 2022.

Are you using the "Always ask" choice for saving a download as that should allow to shorten the filename?

  • Settings -> General -> Files and Applications -> Downloads
