How to use this Addon? / Add usage instructions to README, website, addon description #121

This may be a weired question to ask in a bug tracker, but how do I use this?

The corresponding issue/feature requets would be: Add one or two lines of usage instructions to the GitHub README.md or the website or the Firefox/Chrome addon description. Optionally, you could also add a "first use" screen, displayed as a website immediately after installing the addon (some other addons or even browser-unrelated software packages do this).

What I did so far: Installed the addon (Version 0.11.6) in Firefox (version 115.6.0esr 64-Bit). The addon installed just fine and shows up in the list of extensions. I can change settings, check for updates, etc.

However, I see no UI whatsoever that allows me to take a SVG screenshot. I do not even know what to look for (a button, context menu, toolbar icon, menu entry, shortcut?).

I do have the built-in Firefox screenshot tool available, but when I save the screenshot, it offers no option to make it a SVG file either (even when I name it .svg, it is still a PNG file, content-wise). I obviously do have the built-in Firefox "Save As..." menu entry, but it offers the same choices as without the addon (HTML only, etc.).

Please advise and/or add some usage instructions somewhere.

Okay... it was a dumb question after all... In the mean time, I figured out how to use this addon in Firefox. It is located in the "jigsaw piece" extension menu, that may be found next to the location/URL bar or in the overflow menu, depending on your Firefox configuration. SVG_Screenshot

Feel free to close this bug any time. I myself won't close it, since I still think that this information should be available somewhere (without having to waste like 30 min. in order to find the "magic spot"). Preferably in the app description within Firefox.
