What is Screen recorder?
Screen recorder is a Firefox add-on that allows you to capture your screen into a video, either a full screen or a window, and download it on your system. It is a browser-based tool with no need for a backend. The add-on also features a window to preview the last recorded image and offers the ability to report bugs or request enhancements on the provided source code link. Future updates may include showing the video of the record and support for different video extensions, with development progressing at a pace determined by the developer's available free time.

Summary

There is a button to trigger the screen recorder, it opens your browser capture popup to let you choose what you need to capture - either a full screen or a window. There is another button to stop the screen recorder. After that you can download the video of your record.

You can check you current record in a window on the page. The last recorded image is presented in this window.

No backend, all is in your browser. Source code available here: https://gitlab.com/bdelseny/screen-capture You can create issues on the above link if you have a bug to report, or a enhancement you want.

Other feature will comes when I have the time, like showing the video of your record instead of the last image. Or choosing the video extension for download, maybe a transformation to gif.

Development won't be quick and steady as I work on it on my free time.

I'm still not sure, so only viewable on your own firefox? It didn't capture sound coming from webpages or youtube how come? Tell you what I'll rate 5 stars since I trust your good for it updating and one day sound mode whomever does it you or firefox. Cause so far it does work, and I trust you will also not lie to the community. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt so 5 stars.
