- From the context menu that appears, select the option Take Screenshot.
This action will activate the screenshot interface, allowing you to select the area you wish to capture.
Using the Keyboard Shortcut
For a quicker method, you can use a keyboard shortcut:

This shortcut immediately launches the Firefox Screenshots interface, bypassing the need to right-click.
