Ambiguous "size" for capturing screenshot #119

Description

I'm not sure if it is just me, but I find the usage of the term "size" in the context of capturing a screenshot a bit ambiguous. For instance, when I first looked at it, I mistakenly interpreted "size" as one of three things,

  1. size refers to the dimension of the screenshot itself, or
  2. scale of the image like 1x, 2x (retina sizes), or
  3. the actual size (kb, MB) of the screenshot image, like compressed size, full size, etc.

Of course, it's none of these things, because "size" refers to the length of the web page. So "full size screenshot" means "full page screenshot". I like how Firefox just simply refers it as "full page" in this context. (see below further down).

Not expecting anything to be fixed here, just a food for thought for the team :-)
