The lost of "Pocket" as an extension was large.

I used Pocket for a while. It was excellent since it allowed taking a webpage and converting it to a document that could be copied and pasted to Microsoft word. This allowed further analysis and work on the contents of the page and was extremely useful.

Now that Pocket is gone is there another extension or a purchased extension that does the same thing on the present day Firefox.

I presently use Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Maybe you could try Instapaper? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/instapaper-official/ It requires creating an account. I just tried it on a random article and it allowed me to copy and paste the text.

Hi John — if you mainly need to turn a web article into editable text for Word, a few Firefox options besides Instapaper:

1. Reader View (toolbar icon or Ctrl+Alt+R) → select all → paste into Word. Works well on many article pages. 2. Print → Save as PDF (or Microsoft Print to PDF), then open the PDF in Word. 3. SingleFile extension — saves a complete offline HTML copy you can open and copy from.

Instapaper is solid for read-later sync, but like Pocket it stores links, not full page archives.

If you still have an old Pocket HTML export from before the Nov 2025 cutoff, you can import those saved links into another read-later app — guide: https://pauseread.com/import-pocket?utm_source=operator&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=traffic-test-2026-06

Hope one of these fits your workflow.
