Answer

Thank you. I tested the URL both on Firefox v.1.12.18 and Chrome v.2.1.1 and I can confirm that the problem is specific to Firefox due to improper handling of the page title in the filename. A couple of solutions to override this: 1. Use Chrome and a newer version of FireShot (v. 2.xx) 2. Open FireShot template preferences in Firefox and temporarily disable including Page title into filename. This is done by removing the %t fragment from the filename. Please see this video for more details: https://getfireshot.com/demos/setup-screenshot-template.php

Answer

The latest version for Firefox is 1.12.18, because the newer versions based on Manifest v.3 work very slow in Firefox, so we do not release it for public use. P.S. The newest version can be also used in Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, i.e with any browser that support Chrome extensions.
