I'm trying to take a screenshot of Firefox running on Unity/Ubuntu 16.04 inside VirtualBox 5.1.2. Pressing Prt Scrn
pops open a little app called Screenshot
but the screenshot shown is only ever the desktop, with no application windows visible.
My host operating system is Windows 10 Pro.
Does anyone know how to resolve this and get screenshot functionality working inside VirtualBox?

You may take a screenshot with VirtualBox's built-in screenshot capability, either through pressing RightCtrl+E (or LeftCmd+E on Mac), which will open up a save file window on the host), or with
from the command line of the host, where
vmname
is the name of the virtual machine andscreenshot.png
is the name of the PNG image you'd like to create.
