Firefox has that built in: right click, “Take Screenshot”. It lets you choose between screenshotting just the visible viewport or the whole page.

It's way worse than the OS screenshot method. It adds DRM into screenshotting which to me isn't a screenshot. A screenshot is pointing my phone camera at the screen to avoid anyone changing what I take an image of.
What DRM is added into Firefox screenshots? This is the first I've heard of this.
Any cross-origin / cors images don't appear in the screenshot. I only know because I accidentally used the Firefox hotkey instead of my OS's screenshot hotkey and it broke my screenshot.
How is that digital rights management? Sounds more like a limitation of how FF renders the screenshots (which is possibly in JS)
I wouldn't call that "adding DRM," but certainly a challenge with using FF for screenshots.
