At times I read the Netspeak column in The Hindu. A particular weekly issue, mentioned about Offline Browsing Tool for Firefox called Scrapbook. This solved my much desired feature of having pages offline in firefox. Internet explorer provides this feature wherein it cache the visited pages and when the user goes offline and try to browse, it loads up the page from the internal cache. This is a useful feature when Internet connection is costly and slow, and u want to visit the pages you browsed at your work place, to be browsed( usually good long articles to read) at home without connecting to internet.
Scrapbook extension for firefox, solves this limitation. Its sits a title bar, and on page am on, I can scrap it, so that will be available offline.
In the offline reading mode, I can add comments, highlight text, and search the pages as well.
Quite a good firefox extension.
