Thanks guys, Pkshadow, that did not work for me. However, I found an extension compatible with the latest firefox version that does what I need https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-page-we/?src=search

Now I have a new meta-question. Why do old add ons even become incompatible with new versions? What a pain for long time users (I just switched from Chrome)

Thanks again.

Hi, does dragging and dropping the URL from the Address Bar not work for you ?

Firefox switched from XUL based Legacy extensions to Web Extensions a few versions ago. Legacy extension have a lot of privileges and can call all kinds of code and thus can do a lot of harm and make Firefox crash if they aren't working correctly and are easily affected by slight changes in the Firefox code. Web Extensions can only use specific API functions and thus are more reliable and should continue working in future Firefox versions.
