Worked on my end.
(Seems to use lazy load, so only the "visible" thumbnails actually showed details. The rest simply displayed their outlines.)

Taking a screenshot of that YT homepage works for me.

So what are your steps to reproduce in detail, and what are you trying to take a screenshot of?

Windows Notebook - AMD A8 7410 2.2GHz | 6.0GB RAM | AMD Radeon R5

That robot is used in the address bar when your Firefox is under remote control : https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/commen ... earch_bar/

I don't know why it is showing up in your screenshot preview. ???

It is "false" by default, so who or what changed it for you.

This pref gets changed if you install a screenshot extension to make it possible to override the built-in screenshot feature, so it looks that you have installed a screenshot extension in the past and the pref didn't get reset when you uninstalled or disabled this extension.
