Take a Screenshot?
The one I just took of this page is 215.3 kB and is a .png file.

That could be comparing apples to oranges if you are not saving the same web site as the OP.The one I just took of this page is 215.3 kB and is a .png file.

What is the size of that screen area and does it contain complex content?
If the size of a PNG image is already 2500 kB then a JPG image might even be larger and that might cause Firefox to switch to PNG, both JPG and PNG are available for a screenshot and AFAIK then Firefox prefers PNG, so I'm not sure why you got a JPG image previously.

if I take screen shot with a download cmd, it will open, and want to be saved as a .png as you say.
if I take a screen shot by the copy cmd, and open by way of paste, (I use word), so i can edit anything on the screenshot, and choose save as a picture then, I have a choice to save as a .png, .tiff., .jpg, .gif, or .bmp. The most important thing though, is before I save it, I can edit the size, or anything in it. I use this for ALL my pages that contain information (as in say financial, or buying something on the web and a confirmation page-etc.) that I want to save. Then you can print it.

The built-in Firefox Screenshot prefers PNG, but if the file hits a certain size threshold, the format is switched to JPEG. As far as I know, there's no setting to change that behavior.
