    Take Screenshot mode - security?


    I'm liking the take screenshot mode available on the new version of Firefox!

    However, are there any security concerns I should be aware of?

    When you take a screenshot, you're given the option to save the whole page, which I think works better than trying to save a complete webpage. If you do opt to save the whole page, you're given the option to copy (so you could paste into Paint for example) or 'download'.

    Question is - would you be comfortable to do this - either copy of download entire webpage - if you're working on say bank applications of anything else with personal information on?


    Whilst I'm on security - how safe is it to print to / save as PDF using PDF Creator - again when working with sensitive information?

    Nothing is 100% secure on a PC, even less so on a mobile phone. That applies to PDF's as well.

    With SS ( screenshots ) you need to use the selective feature of any tool you use. In other words select only areas that are not sensitive.
