How to take Incognito Mode Screenshots in Firefox on Android

Mozilla Firefox is one of the best web browsers available for Android compatible devices, thanks to the low-memory consumption and private browsing. Mozilla also added options such as reading modes, themes, download accelerators, ability to capture screenshots in incognito mode, and a lot of other features. In case you’re using Mozilla Firefox on your Android smartphone and want to take a screenshot while browsing through incognito mode, then here’s how to take incognito mode screenshots in Firefox on Android.

Mozilla Firefox is a popular browser but not the most used one. The browser began life as Netscape Navigator in 1998 and started as Mozilla in 2002. Apart from a browser, Mozilla also has other software such as the Mozilla VPN and Lockwise. Lockwise is a password manager that actually works perfectly fine and has great integration with the Firefox browser.

Firefox has a really good private browsing option and today we will see how to enable that as well as take screenshots in Incognito mode for Android.

Enabling Incognito Mode on Android

  • Launch the Firefox Browser and tap on tabs icon.
  • Now, tap on the Mask icon.
  • Hit the button that says + Private.
  • That is it, you have enabled Incognito Mode or Private Browsing Mode.

Do remember that even when you enable private browsing, your ISP will still be able to track where you have been online. Now that you have enabled Private Browsing mode, you might want to surf around or read some news. Maybe you found something interesting and wanted to take a screenshot of it. But Firefox won’t allow you to that by default.
