Firefox 56 comes almost three months after the Firefox 55 release, and it’s the first version of the web browser to offer the new, built-in screenshot tool that Mozilla worked on for the last few months to all users. Dubbed Firefox Screenshots, the tool lets users take screenshots of entire web pages or just parts of them. These screenshots can be saved locally or in the Firefox Screenshots cloud, and it’s also possible to share them through various online services. Furthermore, Firefox 56 improves the Send Tabs feature of the Sync for iOS and Android functionality to allow it to be discovered by users that don’t have a Firefox Account.
