Two Internet questions

Right-click on the email address and look in Account Settings -> Copies and Folders

Right click on folder then "Settings" "Copies and Folders" should get it

- at least it does on 78.6.0 which is what I am running.

Oh thank you! That seems to have fixed it.

Yep, see my reply to PH. Thanks.

Disabling the built-in plugin, can be done from about:config. But that would be an all or nothing setting, for all web renders.

Their other recipe is to use external tools. An example being "snippingtool.exe", available from Vista through to Win10. Linux DEs also have screenshot tools, which save to their Pictures folder.

If you're on Windows 10, you could try Device Manager in the right-click of Start, and verify that the Display is not using the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver. As that may interfere with how various other softwares do hardware graphics acceleration, leading to "broken features". A quick check of correctness, is to open control-alt-delete and Task Manager, and see if Task Manager down at the bottom, has a "GPU performance" section with GPU graphs. That's evidence of a fully functional, accelerated graphics environment. Google uses something like OpenGL or WebGL for some of its functions. And the maps are delivered as "square map segments" and kept in a cache. People have investigated pulling those squares out of the cache and using them for other things.

Thanks Paul. It will take me a day or two to absorb and work through all of that, but thank you.

I of course do not use pictures, but is this menu one from the web page itself or a normal firefox one? What about trying a different browser like Edge? I guess if its a google menu they are famous for just dropping things for no particular reason or moving them somewhere stupid. Brian

Alt-screenshot (a camera icon on my keyboard) will capture the current window. (Which needs to be saved using an image processing app, unless anyone knows a better way.)

On win10, pressing win+shift+s (or screen snip from the action centre) will bring up the snipping tool that can snap a window/full-screen/rectangle/lassoed-area and optionally annotate it and let you save it.

Since I use that quite a bit, I just have the icon on my desktop. ;-)

That is really useful. Never come across the snipping tool in the action centre before. Never looked! Like all things Microsoft, there seem to be a hundred and one ways of doing anything. Thanks.

Win 10 keeps telling me there's something better. ;-) I used it on Win7.

One of the useful features of SnippingTool, is the "delay" setting. Using the delay and setting it to say, 5 seconds, allows selecting a menu and "staging" a screenshot, as an educational tool for others (to show them where to find a tool or setting).

If SnippingTool won't do it, there's always (third-party) GIMP.

I use GIMP all the time for this, and once again that delay is essential.
