I use protonmail. When I try to use "Take a screenshot" and define the area that I want to focus on the box will not scroll down the page. The screenshot will scroll on duckduckgo.

I also noticed that the page up and page down buttons on my laptop don't work, but the mouse wheel does scroll up and down.

Chosen solution

Two other thoughts if the standard mail layout somehow defeats Firefox Screenshot:

(1) Email sites often offer a link or button to pop up a cleaner print-optimized view of the message, and

(2) There are numerous screenshot add-ons that may use other techniques.

Hi, I have a protonmail mail account but never use it. Could it be part of the encryption security of the site ? Please check with them on that as solutions maybe a bit extreme.

It also could be Ghostery, pause it and try.

Hi, I noticed your Video Card Drivers and they are old driverDate: 8-19-2013 adapterDescription: AMD Radeon HD 7640G I tried identifying a url for you but can not figure out mobile/desktop/embedded so should go to the below and update and keep the drivers as getting close to EOL if not already. I get monthly updates for a desktop HD7970 so ya, really old drivers you have. https://support.amd.com/en-us/download

Hi Thout, considering your issue with the page up and page down buttons, I wonder where the focus is within the page. Is there anywhere you can click in the margin of the page that won't activate a link or button where you could be sure that Firefox was directing keyboard input to the main document body (whether it's the up and down arrows, or page up/page down)? That might also help with the scrolling selection problem.

to: jscher2000 Thank you. I must have not been in the body of the email. The pg up/dn buttons are functional. Still the same problem with Screenshot.

to: Pkshadow Thank you. I'm unsure why I'm not getting the driver updates from MSFT monthly updates. The only "updates" I deselect are the blatant Win10 promotionals. I'll use that link to update drivers.

Further data on screenshot: I tried protonmail screenshot again. The screen greyed. Then two messages appeared at the bottom right: "This isn't a standard web page. Screenshot won't work." Of course, I can't take a screenshot and post. But, I could take a traditional screenshot.

Also, I tried "Full Page" button. It also is limited to the current screen similar to prt sc.

I reloaded the page. This time no message about a non-standard web page. But, I till couldn't scroll. Just the current screen.

So, I went onto a banking site. I was able to scroll using the Take A Screenshot. So, it must be protonmail site. I'll try a amd driver update. If no difference I'll send a bug report to protonmail.

I tried to update AMD drivers. Failed. Here's the log info:

Print Option: This worked! Protonmail generates a second tab/web page. Take a Screenshot works fine scrolling.

If I get some time I'll pursue AMD errors.

Thanks all!
