On my iPhone in the Safari browser, I can pull up a reader view of a webpage and all the crud is gone. When I email this to anyone it takes the contents of the page and puts it into the body of the email with a link to the page on top.

I like that Firefox has a reader view now. Can I duplicate this very handy feature from Safari in Firefox? Using Microsoft Outlook for my email.

Firefox doesn't have a feature to email a webpage; neither the Reader view nor the full webpage. Firefox only has is the ability to email the link to a webpage.

Note that you can force reader mode in Firefox by prefixing a link the about:reader?url=. This will only work with Firefox.

Otherwise you can print the page to a PDF file or create a screenshot of the page and attach the image to the mail.

Firefox has the feature to take a full page screenshot as part of built-in developer tools, so you do not need an extension. Firefox has a setting in the web developer toolbox settings to add a button to the toolbar of the Web Developer toolbox to take a full page screenshot.

The (default) file name is "Screen Shot yyyy-mm-dd at HH.MM.SS.png" and the file is saved to the Downloads folder.

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and have access to the developer tools including the cogwheel icon to access the toolbox settings and find the "Take a fullpage screenshot" (camera) button once you have enabled this button.
