It is quite likely that, on more than one occasion, you have wanted to access a certain website without having an Internet connection, because the truth is that if for example you have a MacBook and you are going to go on a trip, among many other possible scenarios , you want to take a series of items with you.
Doing this is quite simple, because in fact even Mozilla Firefox integrates with Pocket, an application we already talked about, but nevertheless there are occasions when you may prefer to save the entire web in question, or it may even be the case that it is not an article, and in these cases it will not help you, which is why With this tutorial we are going to show you what you can do if you use Firefox as a browser on your Mac.
Download any website to access offline with Mozilla Firefox
In this case, as we mentioned, if you want to save an article in question, you can use tools such as Pocket, quite simple to use, but if for any reason it does not work as it should, or you need to save the entire website, You can make use of the function that Mozilla Firefox has, through which you can download any page in HTML or similar format (preferably without dynamic content to avoid problems).
For this, first of all, what you should do is go to the website in question that you want to save using Mozilla Firefox, and then right click of your mouse in an area without content or in which there is only text, in order for it to appear the contextual menu with options, on which you must click on the option "Save as ...".
As soon as you do, a small Finder window will appear, in which you must choose the location where you want to store the website in question on your Mac. In order to avoid problems, it is best if you choose the location from the beginning and do not move it, especially if you plan to save it to an external medium, as there could be problems when moving its location.
Be that as it may, the place you select should create several things. First, you should have an HTML document (or the format used by the website that you have saved in question), and on the other hand a folder, which in principle will have the same name with which you saved the other file, only with the ending "Files". In this case, it is recommended that you do not make changes to it, because in that folder what is saved are all the web plugins, necessary for optimal operation, because in a way in the main HTML file what is going to be saved is, above all, the text of the page, while the folder will be the one that will contain the design files, JavaScript and even the images and graphics used.
Files generated by Mozilla Firefox when downloading a web page
In this way, once you want to access the web page that you have downloaded, you just have to double click on the main file, which is the one outside the folder. In principle, it will open with the default browser that you have on your computer, regardless of whether you have an Internet connection or not, and the browser in question does not have to be Mozilla Firefox, since it is a generic file, so It should be able to open without any problem.
In addition, this has certain advantages, such as that, for example, if you wish, you can copy it to another computer (not necessarily a Mac), and open it using an Internet browser. Now, the truth is that, when opening it, in many cases, depending on the website and all the scripts you use, some things may not work quite right, but the truth is that the main content of the web should be seen correctly.
