Firefox has File >Send Link but that just sends a link, it doesn't embed the contents of the page in the email message.

Maybe there is an add-on that does this? You can search using: Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.

Thank you for your helpful and much-appreciated reply.

While I'm disappointed that there's no actual "Send Page" option that's part of Firefox Mozilla (I guess I was spoiled with Microsoft Outlook), I went to the Add-ons you've suggested and I discovered "Email the Web" which I've installed and now use.

It's a pretty good program/app, but it requires some additional steps that weren't needed when sending a web page by email in Outlook.

I also see that other Firefox Mozilla users have been asking for this Send Page by Email feature since 2005! I, therefore, assumed that with so many requests over five years, this would already be in place by now, but I guess other features took priority. Oh well.

Many thanks, again, for your help!

For many years when Mozilla did the Netscape browsers they had both send link and send page functions built right into it. It disappeared when Firefox came along and I've been unhappy about it ever since. I don't understand why they don't just put it back in since they knew how to do it years ago.

The old Mozilla Suite and Seamonkey, along with Netscape had / have the ability to "Send Page by Email", but Firefox has never included that feature - because Firefox doesn't do email like those other browsers do / did. Firefox users have always had to install an extension to get that feature, when an add-on is available.

Ok, but how big a deal would it be for Mozilla to include such an extension, especially if you are also running Thunderbird. The extensions I've seen are either a pain to use or don't work at all. It's making me look into running IE because it has that feature.

There aren't a lot of times I want to embed an entire web page into an email. I find copy and paste usually works well enough that I haven't tried any of the extensions. This could be part of the reason it's not a native feature: might not have a big enough audience.

Or perhaps none of the developers has taken a personal interest in building it; volunteer software development has its limitations.
