Download Websites With FireMirror

Internet
users sometimes come upon information on websites that they want to preserve for the future. They might be inclined to bookmark the page but that is only useful for as long as the website exists. Another option would be to print the information or save the page to the local computer system.
The Firefox extension FireMirror uses a similar technique as the last suggestion to download websites to the local hard drive. It basically is a website mirroring software that can automatically download a website based on the user's parameters. The default setting will for instance download the active page plus every page that is linked from that page. The depth, which is the parameter that defines the number of pages that the website downloader will download, can be configured in the program's options. The maximum depth is 10 and the minimum 0.
