I made a screenshot but can't find it anywhere.

Where can I see what settings firefox uses to save screenshots.

actually the built-in developer tools would have the possibility to take screenshots - those would go to the downloads folder of your system by default. in case you're using any third party tool to take screenshot you'd have to refer to its documentation...

Firefox does not has an option to take and save a screenshot.
If you take a screenshot with the Print Screen button on your keyboard, then a copy is made into Windows memory. Now open Windows Paint (or any other image viewer) and do a Past action. Then choose Save As .... and save it as JPG in any place you want.
