To screenshot a logged-in page that opens in a new tab, capture the new tab—not the original one. In Firefox, switch to the tab and choose Take Screenshot from the context menu, or press Ctrl+Shift+S on Windows or Linux and Command+Shift+S on macOS. For automation, wait for the popup before clicking the link or button, then screenshot the popup page. Check that the expected signed-in content is visible before saving.

Take the screenshot manually in Firefox

  1. On the signed-in page, click the link or button that opens the page in a new tab.
  2. Switch to the new tab and confirm it shows the page and account state you intend to capture. A new tab does not guarantee that a particular site’s authentication carries over.
  3. Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Take Screenshot, or use Ctrl+Shift+S on Windows or Linux, or Command+Shift+S on macOS.
  4. Choose the visible area for what is currently on screen, or select Save full page to include below-the-fold content.

These menu labels and shortcuts are Firefox-specific. For other browsers, consult that browser’s own screenshot instructions.

Capture the new tab with Playwright

In Playwright, the tab opened by a click is a separate Page object. Register the popup wait before the action that opens it; otherwise, the event may occur before the script begins waiting. The popup event signals that initial navigation has begun, not that the page is fully ready or authenticated.

JavaScript: wait for a popup tied to the source page

const popupPromise = page.waitForEvent('popup');
await page.getByText('open the popup').click();
const popup = await popupPromise;
await popup.waitForLoadState('domcontentloaded');
await popup.screenshot({ path: 'logged-in-page.png', fullPage: true });

Replace getByText('open the popup') with a locator that matches your page. The example captures the full scrollable page; remove fullPage: true to capture the current viewport instead. Waiting for domcontentloaded is a synchronization point, not proof that the content you need has appeared. Check the page for the expected signed-in state before relying on the image.

Listen for any new page in the browser context

If the new tab is not a popup associated with the source page, listen for a new page event on the browser context instead. This approach covers newly created pages such as links using target="_blank".

const pagePromise = context.waitForEvent('page');
await sourcePage.getByText('open the popup').click();
const newPage = await pagePromise;
await newPage.waitForLoadState('domcontentloaded');
await newPage.screenshot({ path: 'new-tab.png', fullPage: true });

Use your actual context and source-page variables and a locator appropriate to the site. If the page is created independently rather than by an action on one page, the context-level event is the relevant pattern.

Choose what part of the page to capture

What you need Capture choice Playwright approach
What is visible in the tab now Viewport screenshot Call page.screenshot() without fullPage.
Content below the fold Full-page screenshot Set fullPage: true on page.screenshot().
One panel or control Element screenshot Use a locator screenshot, such as page.getByRole('dialog').screenshot(), with a locator matching the target element.

Firefox also offers a full-page save in its screenshot tool. Choose the scope that includes the information you need while avoiding unrelated page content.

Troubleshoot missing or incorrect captures

  • The screenshot shows the original tab. Capture the Page returned by the popup wait or new-page event, not the source page.
  • The popup wait hangs or misses the tab. Start waiting before clicking. Use page.waitForEvent('popup') for a popup from that page, or context.waitForEvent('page') for a new page in the context.
  • The screenshot is blank or incomplete. A load-state wait only indicates a navigation milestone. Confirm the content you need is present before capture, and choose a wait or page-specific condition suited to the site.
  • The new tab is logged out. Authentication carryover depends on the site and is not established by Playwright’s popup or screenshot documentation. Inspect the tab and confirm its account state; do not treat a successfully opened tab as proof of authentication.
  • The capture omits content below the fold. Use fullPage: true in Playwright or Firefox’s Save full page option.
  • A wait for networkidle is unreliable. Playwright discourages relying on that state as a universal readiness signal for testing. Prefer a meaningful page-specific condition and verify the actual content.
