How can i export html to file via command line with FireFox

Question

So the question explains itself very good.

Is there a console command line to save the html with firefox?

Thanks.

There is no way to ask Firefox to save a page via command line (as of May 2015). There is, however, a script that can automate the process of launching Firefox, saving the page, quitting Firefox.

From the README file:

A quick hack for when wget doesn't cut it.

tl;dr Perform browser's "Save page as" (Ctrl+S) operation from command line without manual intervention

This small bash script simulates a sequence of key presses which opens a given url in the browser, save the page (Ctrl+S), and close the browser tab/window (Ctrl+F4).

# Use Firefox to open a web-page and save it in /tmp # (the default name for the file (Page title) is used) $ ./save_page_as "www.example.com" --browser "firefox" --destination "/tmp"
