This choice allows you to view it as originally shown with pictures, but it may not keep the HTML link structure of the original page. Firefox creates a new directory where the page is saved to save pictures and other files necessary to show the whole web page. * '''Web page, HTML only''': Save the original page without pictures. This choice preserves the original HTML link structure in one file. * '''Text files''': Save the original page as a text file. This choice will not preserve the original HTML link structure, but will allow you to see a text version of the web page in any text editor. * '''All files''': This is equivalent to "Web page, HTML only," but you may specify a file extension (e.g. ".htm" or ".shtml"). = How To Save An Image On A Webpage = '''To save an image''': {for win,linux}Right-click{/for}{for mac}Hold down the {key Ctrl} key while you click{/for} on the image you want to save, and then select {menu Save Image As...} from the context menu.
