Thanks for your suggestion, but of course me using Linux vs you using almost anything but, that didn't help. However, I DID manage to locate it in the View Menu dropdown shortcutted as Ctl-Alt-R. Perfectly logical once you know it.

Hope this relieves any other bafflement on the topic

I must be missing something obvious. Just where can I select this document mode? Not anywhere I can find in FF Quantum 60.0.2. Should I be using another FF version?

I want to save web pages/sites for input itnto Calibre. Making epub snapshots of websites is useful, but Calibre gets pretty lost in convoluted CSS. Calibre's author doesn't intend the product to be used quite this way. I'm still a occasional supporter though - it's great at what he designed it to do.

Unity may look beautiful swimming in the water, but as soon it climbs onto shore you'll see how ungainly it lurches about. My first piece of business will be installing MATE, Cinnamon, and fallback to give them a try.

Hey, you youngsters, 1991 wasn't the Bronze Age.

I was a systems manager 1990 for a site that used the then new Sun Sparc "pizzaboxes". They ran a CAD package that had a humngous key encoding numbers of licenses for subpackages and their expiry dates. And yes, it was painful to have those keys dictated over the telephone.

I've got a Carnegie Mellon science degree (actually Carnegie Tech) from 1964. I'm retiring next year. And the degree was never used except to get me into a grad school that I dropped out from to work in computers.

Maybe I should auction it off on Ebay?
