QR Code grabber does not work if the dialogue is hidden when a mouseclick is recorded

[alexlehm]

Describe the issue

I am trying to activate TOTP on a website that uses a modal box which disappears when clicking with the mouse to mark the area to capture, I assume this would only work if the capture would use the whole screen without a mouse click or if could read the pasteboard directly

Browser

Firefox

Browser Version

139.0.4

Extension Version

8.0.2

I should say that I was able to work around this by taking a screenshot with an external tool and pasting that into imgur and then scanning the page but that seems quirky

I just did it this way aswell. it's a quick workaround but this problem should be fixable somehow...

This also happened in Chrome for me, more common on ChromeOS however.

I would call that a design flaw of the page, it works fine with e.g. Gitea since that uses a regular image in HTML and not a modal
