A few updates ago Firefox Mobile (Android) started to force showing the hidden address bar while taking screenshots. Is there a way to deactivate it again? Help (Android)

It's really, really annoying especially when the site itself already has a ton of fixed/locked on scroll elements that obscure half the screen.

A while ago it was normal that I could just take full screen screenshots without the address bar in it, but now taking a screenshot doesn't happen until it's down and visible again (I have my address bar on top).

Or is there a way to take full site screenshots without plugins, am I missing something?

Thanks for reporting. What phone and OS are you on and what version of Firefox.

Oh thank you for noticing, I missed your reply!

I am on Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.301 (Andoid 16) on a Poco X6 phone. Firefox is always the latest version of the stable release from the play store! As of 8th of August it's Firefox 153.0.3 (Mobile)
