    Well I travel around a lot and do not always have internet access but I would like to be able to open up Firefox and just view specific pages such as a wikipedia page or a specific NBR Thread. Is there a way to "save" these pages so when I open firefox up I can go to these pages and they would pop up but not in real time. For airplane use etc...

    Thanks

    Yeah, view them as offline pages.

    Bookmark your pages first then open Firefox and go up to Bookmarks in the menu.
    Or go to your profile and click on the Bookmarks.html file.

    Then you will see in Firefox a "Work Offline" when you go to file.

    You can also save web pages as PDFs using the add-on called "PDF Download", if that's of any use to you.

    There are also a couple addons which will save web pages as .mht files, the Microsoft format (built into IE) for saving a web page as a single file, with the images embedded, etc. (With FF, you need an extension to save to that file type. MAFF is one, another is unmht.)
