Firefox Exploit Screen-Captures

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1024867 /questions/1024867]''
Hi guys,
Well, I think I bring here a very interesting thing for the Mozilla team. I found I have some sort of exploit which takes screen captures whenever I click on any web page. It is specially active whenever you are entering sensitive information like when I log-in onto site accounts, o whenever I check something on the bank.
I checked processes using process explorer, and everything points at Mozilla being very active and nothing else. I check the creation of those screen captures and they are always, there.
I ran several bootable antivirues like Eset, Kaspersky and Bitdefender and they don't detect anything weird. I removed all temp file this "thing" creates while making files and take snap of my screen.
I also disable all Firefox add-ons, as well as the Java on my computer -I believe there's some connection with Java here-.
So there, guys!! I don't know where this "thing" resides,

If you can, send the link for this page;
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1024867'''
to your anti-virus and one or more anti-mal-ware sites.
As this is something they need to know about to better protect us.

  • Since Firefox 6.0 copying images, by either Win 7 fxn or by screen capture fxn's, no longer works

    -- At least, this is the way it seems... a letter I wrote first to the VMN Toobox staff (and to Firefox)...
    Hi VMN Staff/Inventor – and Hi to my favorite browser’s staff at Firefox,
    I must say that I really love your Screen Capture fxn for the VMN Toobox 4.25! I use it ALL of the time! Hopefully, I have sent you some money already. Tonight however something is really wrong! When I fired up the computer this afternoon and, as usual, was doing research for my office, some webpage logos wouldn't copy, so as usual I dropped down the VMN Toolbox selections, selected Screen Capture and arranged the capture bars over the image, got the yellow flash-across the selected area and pasted the picture in to the document. I looked and looked, reshot the image several times but unbelievably … THE SCREEN CAPTURE IMAGE on the document WAS BLANK!
    This NEVER occurred before. And, even after restarting the computer it still did not work.
    Then I happened to be in a document where VMN screen capture images had been added - they were ALL blank! Checking other documents - all screenshot images in all documents are blank, totally whited out, with the black lines of where the images used to be right there, emphasizing that something is gone. Like a painting stolen from a museum wall and the photon shadow is all that remains.
    I had not used Awesome Screenshot for quite a while, but there it was up on my toolbar - tried that - same damn thing! What's going on? I am pretty certain I let Mozilla FireFox go ahead and update from v5.x to v6.0 as soon as I signed on, and several add-ons were suddenly "no longer compatible," but as far as I can tell your software doesn't rely on any plug-ins. The Awesome Screenshot extension add-on for Firefox was still enabled, yet it did not work.
    Further troubleshooting - as I was at my desktop on the network in the office, I then fired up my laptop. This time I DID NOT allow Mozilla Firefox to update from v5.x to 6.0. The VMN toolbox screenshot worked fine! Uh, oh Firefox…?
    So, I will be sending this message to Firefox also - I detest Microsoft, only use their software at all only because I HAVE to, I almost never use IE v8.x or 9.x or wherever it is now - but can your people at VMN (and y'all at Firefox) explain how the only browser I use, Firefox, could possibly reach in to my documents file and cause the screenshots downloaded to the clipboard, then to documents, to suddenly no longer be able to be seen? Is this even possible?
    Lastly, maybe you know something about this - is there any way to actually "see" the clipboard - what's on it at any given time? I cannot find any way to access either file names or images existing on the clipboard no matter how much is on it, or what program I'm using. (An IT level/web developer person I am not, just a physician.)
    I have Windows 7 Professional on my desktop, 4GB RAM, the network/server can only use a 32-bit system type, and everything is highly maintenanced by myself and our IT team, so absolutely everything else is fine. On my laptop I have a Windows 7 Home Premium OS installed and working fine on a brand new HP Pavilion g4 Notebook PC w/ 4GB RAM, 64-bit system type.
    Any time to send me any ideas? Thanks. And you too, Firefox - what's going on?
    Thank you very much,

  • I can insert images in gmail. However, I cannot insert a screen capture on one computer when I can on another. So I think its the way I have Firefox setup...but I don't know how to change it.

    In gmail I enabled insert images. I can now copy/paste an image....but not a screen capture. I'm using the same process to capture the screen shot and paste as I do in Word. It works on one computer...but not another.

    Move the cursor to the very top of the screen, maybe push up a bit. The main menubar should then appear. All the way to the right should be a bright blue icon - click it, and the Safari window should revert to 'normal' size.
    Pressing Command-Control-F should accomplish the same thing.
    Once it is back to normal size, click and hold on the top portion of the Safari window and drag to left or right to place it where you want it to be. Once you leave it there, the next time you open Safari it should open its window in normal size at that place.
    If you need to re-size the window a bit, you can click-and-hold on the bottom-right corner of the window and drag to resize it.

  • How can I create a PNG or JPG screen capture or screenshot of the entire length of a long email message?

    Hi all,
    I need to create screenshots of emails, but I need to image the entire length of those emails. Can I using Mail or any other email application? Here is what I have tried so far ...
    I can only do a screen capture of the portion of the email that shows up on my 27" Mac. I can reduce the size of the emails somewhat, but usually not enough to capture their entire length.
    I tried going through Gmail using Firefox + Awesome Screenshots plugin, but couldn't get Gmail to open entire page so as to capture it. Normally I view this Gmail account using Apple Mail.
    "Printing" to a PDF is not an acceptable solution for my needs, because that changes the native formatting to fit the print / pdf format. I need to show the exact email layout as thought it were an actual email.
    Any ideas? Thaks for your help.

    Installed ScreenGrab add-on to Firefox and, sorry, it still only captures the window to the extent that it is open, and there is no way that I know to open an email window in Gmail so as to show the netire lengthof a long email message.
    So, ScreenGrab helped me get more screen capture of an email, but still not yet the entire email. I used Save>Complete Page/Frame, but still no more than what is visible.
    I'll keep looking. And thanks for your suggestion Sabatica.

  • How do I blacklist sites from appearing/being screen captured in the new tab view (Banking/Social media/Etc...)?

    When I was checking out the new tab view this morning, I noticed that there were screenshots from by accounts page on my banking website. I turned off the tiled display, but they came right back when i turned it on again. the problem is 1) I don't know where these screenshots are being stored, and how detailed they are (the thumbnails are blurry, but recognizable to me) and 2) how do I blacklist a domain from being screen capped for this purpose at all? The screen capture seems to not be related to having the tiles show up in the tab, since they came right back after toggling this setting.

    these screenshots are stored in your browser's cache at the moment, but in future versions of firefox they will (together with the previews for tab panorama) be stored as plain picture files in a folder in the local applications data folder of windows & the number of screenshots will be optimized (reduced). the resolution is quite low, they are only available in the blurry format you already see.
    you can remove sites by clicking the x button on the thumbnail - this will be remembered in a blacklist, however i'm not sure if this is affecting the whole domain or just the exact url (i suspect the latter).

  • Screen capture beyond boundary (without adding URL addresses)

    Hi,
    I want to screen capture - completely - a single website
    page that includes an out-of-bounds area,
    BUT I cannot use software that asks you to place a specific URL into it's capture facility.
    Does such a screen capture utility exist?
    I've found lots of screen capture questions
    when doing message search, but I can't seem to find an answer to this specific question.
    Thank you,

  • Does Thunderbird normally take screen captures ?

    I run Trusteer Rapport on Firefox. It provides a weekly report of security-related events. I attach a screen capture. The report says that it has blocked Thunderbird.exe from taking screen captures while I was on a banking website in firefox.
    The screen capture happened at about the same time that Thunderbird stopped receiving emails from all my email providers and seems also to have lost all my email server passwords. ( I have already posted a question relating to this failure on Mozilla Support)
    Does Thunderbird normally take screen captures?

    I have never known it to do so and I can't think of any reason why it should. I use screen captures quite often to illustrate an explanation, and I can't recall ever seeing stray screenshots. (But then if it was covert, it wouldn't place them on the clipboard, would it? ;-) )
    I suspect you have a false positive there. I haven't used Rapport. My bank offers it but I don't expect such things to work in Linux.

  • Firefox gui element capture plug in keeps causing Firefox to crash and it won't open certain windows. Any idea why?

    I disabled extensions per Firefox instructions and discovered that 'firefox gui element capture plug in 1.0' is the one causing my problems. Problems being Firefox either crashes or refuses to open an additional window, and then crashes.

    I am not sure why this started happening, however please update to version 32.0.3 when its available.
    The places we can troubleshoot is in the Applications menu under preferences.

  • Whenever I attempt to watch a video of any sort full screen on Firefox my screen turns white but I can hear the video playing.

    When viewing pics or videos in FireFox, when screen is enlarged to full screen, page turns white. While I can still hear audio, no picture. I have seen similar posting in problem questions, but solutions have all been closed out.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have same problem when watching web video and going to full screen it turns white. Audio is still good. If I hit escape all goes back to viewing the video okay.
    It occurs in Firefox 6.3 & 6.8.3, Internet Explorer 8, and Google Chrome. Windows Media Player WILL go to full screen okay.
    I wished I could submit 2 pics: one of video and 1 of the white screen. But I can't so I'm just sending the white screen pic

  • How do I connect two video cameras to my computer have them both show up on the desktop at the same time so I can see and capture both images using a screen capture program?

    Hello, 
    I am a teacher and want to make some videos to post online for my class.  I would like to have it set up so that I have a powerpoint presentation going, a video camera pointing at a piece of paper I can write on and another video camera pointing at me.  How do I do this?  I have seen several solutions but they seem to be for switching between videos whereas I want both video images to be on at the same time.
    Also, is there a screen capture program you would recommend?

    Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

  • How to get a custom screen capture size smaller than my slide size

    Hi,
    I'm trying to capture a fixed sized screen on my computer (a softphone) for use in a youtube hd size format training video. I can't seem to figure out how to customize the size of my screen capture so it fits only around the phone and leaves me blank space on my slides. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Nikkie

    Hi there
    This should be simple. From Captivate, when you set it up to record you simply define an area there.
    Or are you possibly saying you cannot consistently get a size set so that you can record many different projects perhaps over several days? If that's the case, perhaps you need to investigate using something like the freeware Sizer utility to configure things a bit.

  • Error Message When Importing Quicktime Screen Capture to FCE

    As I said in the subject I'm having issues importing a Quicktime Screen Capture into Final Cut Express. I keep getting this message.
    File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
    I figure it has to be a quick fix for this simple problem. And it's probably just my first time.
    Thanking you in advance

    QuickTime Screen Recordings are H.264 video files. You need to convert this to +QuickTime Apple Intermediate Codec+ in order to use it in FCE. MPEG Streamclip (free) can do this for you.

  • How do I perform a screen capture to print or save?

    How do I perform a screen capture to print or save?

    Press the Shift, Command, and 3 keys to capture the whole screen.
    Press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys to capture a draggable part of the screen, or follow it with the spacebar to capture a window.
    Open the PNG on the desktop. Alternatively, combine either of the above with the Control key to put the screenshot onto the clipboard instead of the desktop.
