How to install Save Page WE in Firefox and Chrome

Install Save Page WE from the official add-on store for your browser: choose Add to Firefox on Mozilla Add-ons or Add to Chrome in the Chrome Web Store, then approve the permission prompt if one appears. After installation, look for the Save Page WE button in the browser toolbar. The extension saves a displayed web page as a single HTML file for offline access, though some cross-origin content may not be included.

Install Save Page WE in Firefox

Open the official Save Page WE listing on Firefox Add-ons.
Select Add to Firefox.
Review the permissions Firefox displays and approve the installation if you want to proceed.
Find the blue floppy-disk Save Page WE button in the main toolbar. If it is not visible, open Firefox’s Extensions menu and pin the extension button to the toolbar.

You can also open Firefox’s menu, choose Extensions and themes, then use Find more add-ons to locate it on addons.mozilla.org. Mozilla documents installing signed add-ons from a file through the Add-ons Manager, but the official listing is the normal route for this installation.

Install Save Page WE in Chrome

Open the official Save Page WE listing in the Chrome Web Store.
Select Add to Chrome.
Review the permissions and select Add extension if Chrome asks you to confirm.
Open Chrome’s Extensions controls near the right side of the address bar. From there, manage the extension or pin it so its icon stays visible in the toolbar.

Chrome does not allow extension installation while browsing as a guest or in Incognito mode. On a school or work device, an administrator may also restrict which extensions you can install.

Browser	Official source	Install control	Where to find it	Known restriction
Firefox	Firefox Add-ons	Add to Firefox	Main toolbar; pin it if needed	Review Firefox’s permission prompt; some page content has capture limits

Save a page for offline access

Open the page you want to keep and let the content you need finish loading.
Use the Save Page WE toolbar button. Its action and item-selection options can be configured in the extension.
Choose the relevant tabs or URLs if you are saving more than the current page. Save Page WE supports selected tabs and lists of URLs, with Basic, Standard, and Custom item options.
Save the resulting .html file, which is the default file extension, somewhere you can find later.
Open the saved file in a browser to view the offline copy. Check important interactive or embedded content while online before relying on it offline.

The Firefox and Chrome listings describe the extensions as having the same functions and user interface. Save Page WE captures the page as currently displayed; it is not a guarantee that every script, remote resource, or embedded frame will work offline.

Permissions and access

The Firefox listing discloses permissions related to downloads and download history, notifications, browser tabs and navigation activity, and access to data for websites. Review the prompt shown by your browser before approving it, and install from the official store listing. Chrome provides controls for managing an extension’s site access, including access when you select the extension, on the current site, or on all sites. The available controls can depend on browser settings and the extension’s requested permissions.

What Save Page WE can and cannot save

Single-file output: It saves a web page as one HTML file designed to open in a browser.
Multiple targets: It can save selected tabs or a list of URLs, with Basic, Standard, or Custom item choices.
Cross-origin frames: Some frames hosted on other origins may not be saved. The Firefox listing says a cross-origin frame is saved only when all its cross-origin ancestor frames can run content scripts; scripts inside cross-origin frames are not saved.
Local archive files: Firefox WebExtensions cannot read local files, so the Firefox extension cannot directly convert local .maff or .mht files.
Offline behavior: A saved HTML copy is useful for access without a network connection, but content that depends on excluded scripts, remote services, or inaccessible frames may be incomplete.

If you need a faithful record of a page’s appearance rather than an HTML copy to browse, use a screenshot or PDF capture workflow. For automated website captures, ScreenshotNeo is a website screenshot API and MCP server for developers.

Troubleshooting installation and saving

The Add to Chrome button is unavailable

Cause: Chrome blocks adding extensions in guest and Incognito sessions, or a device administrator may restrict installs.

Fix: Return to a regular Chrome profile and try the official listing. If it is a managed device and the store indicates that installation is blocked, ask the administrator about the applicable policy.

Cause: The extension may be installed but not pinned or visible in the toolbar.

Fix: In Firefox, open Extensions and pin Save Page WE to the toolbar. In Chrome, open the Extensions controls and pin the extension icon.

The page is missing a frame or embedded content

Cause: Cross-origin frame restrictions can prevent Save Page WE from reading or saving some framed content, and scripts inside cross-origin frames are not saved.

Fix: Treat the saved file as a copy of the capturable page content. If the frame is essential, keep the original URL available or use an allowed screenshot/PDF workflow to preserve a visual record.

The saved file opens but looks incomplete

Cause: The page may rely on content that loaded later, remote resources, scripts, or interactive services that the saved HTML cannot reproduce.

Fix: Wait for the page to finish loading before saving, choose the appropriate item option, and verify the file offline. For content requiring an exact visual record, save a screenshot or PDF as well.

The extension asks for broad permissions

Cause: The Firefox listing describes access needed for downloads, tabs, navigation, notifications, and website data.

Fix: Check that you are on the official store listing, read the browser’s permission prompt, and approve only if those capabilities fit your needs. Use the browser’s extension controls to review site access where available.

Or skip the browser setup

If your goal is an automated screenshot rather than an offline HTML file, ScreenshotNeo takes a capture with one GET request. See the ScreenshotNeo API documentation for the available parameters.

curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webp

import requests
r = requests.get("https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot", params={"access_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "url": "https://stripe.com"}, timeout=90)
open("shot.webp", "wb").write(r.content)

const q = new URLSearchParams({ access_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://stripe.com' });
const res = await fetch(`https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot?${q}`);

Cookie banners are accepted and removed before capture; known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets can also be removed, with each step configurable.
Bot checks, blank pages, failed loads, timeouts, and cache hits are not billed; response headers report the page verdict and billing status.
An MCP server lets AI agents using Claude, Cursor, or another MCP client take screenshots, inspect page information, and capture PDFs.
The free plan includes 1,000 screenshots a month with no card; paid plans start at $5 for 3,000 screenshots.

Performance, reliability, and cost

Save Page WE runs in the browser, so saving requires the page to load and the extension to process its available content. Large pages and pages with many resources can take longer and produce larger HTML files. If reliability matters, reopen the saved file offline and check the specific text, images, and frames you need. The research sources provide no benchmark figures, so there is no supported universal save-time or file-size estimate.

The research sources identify Save Page WE as an extension offered through the browser stores but provide no pricing details. ScreenshotNeo offers a free plan with 1,000 shots per month and paid plans from $5 for 3,000; other plans are Starter $5/3,000, Growth $15/15,000, Pro $39/60,000, Scale $99/250,000, and Business $249/1,000,000 per month. Yearly billing gives two months free, and every feature is on every plan. These screenshot captures serve a different purpose from saving a page as offline HTML.
