Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
It is possible that the power outage has caused some files in the Firefox profile folder to get corrupted. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
