Is there a way to save OPENED tabs to read them later?
I have a tab I would like to explore later. But I cannot close it and add to bookmarks because the website may be not available later. The simplest solution is to keep this tab opened, but this can be inconvenient if there are too many tabs. So I probably need some addon to store tab somewhere in the background. Perhaps there is an addon which can do that?
Another possible solution is to create some kind of containter tab which contains multiple tabs saved for later, but I didn't find a way to do it. It would allow to save space in a tab bar. There is such thing as Container in Firefox but is seems like it is not applicable here.

Maybe create a full page screenshot?
You can find some items like the bookmarks star and take a screenshot in the "Page actions" drop-down list (3-dot icon at the right end of the location/address bar). You can right-click an item in the "Page actions" drop-down list to add its button to the location/address bar for easy access.

This is an interesting idea, but not exactly what I need. These pages can be updated and I will not be able to see it if I make screenshots.
You could PDF the historical page for later comparison. You could send a copy of it to a clipping site (I think OneNote has that, I don't know if Pocket has it). The risk of just keeping the tab open is that the page may eventually age out of the cache and then Firefox would be forced to retrieve the current version of the page.
What I often do :
Copy the whole page and paste it in a Word document - but you won't get any possible updates that way.
Oh well, just a thought ......

Just found this - sounds promising .....

And lots of users are asking the developer to update this add-on (which he will when he finds the time) :

(The more people ask him to hurry up and do it, the more it might motivate
him .... )
