I want to be able to save an email from my inbox to my computer. Can find a "save as" button or get a copy and paste to work. When I try to "save the page" it saves the web page not the email. .

My Computer is running windows 8 and firefox. My email opens up with Outlook.com in top left corner using firefox as server. The menu option on the on the top right hand side dosen't allow a "save as" option or even allow me to copy and paste to my computer. If I "save the Page" it saves the whole website, not the email.

I suppose you could *mark* the text (i.e. select it with the mouse/touchpad etc.) in the email then hit Ctrl+C and paste it to some text editor (e.g. Notepad) with Ctrl+V, then save it as a text file. You could also choose Print from the menu in Outlook.com and print the email to a file (provided you have a PDF printer installed).

Don't you have a "Print to PDF" feature, that will appear as a "printer" selection when you open the print dialog box? That will save that print job as a PDF file.

IIRC, a Print to PDF feature is included in Windows by MS starting with either Vista or Windows 7. If not part of Windows, maybe the Adobe PDF program you have installed [I see that as a plugin in your More System Details] has added that feature. Or maybe it was added by your Microsoft Office application - [another plugin I see that you have "The plug-in allows you to open and edit files using Microsoft Office applications"].

Best I can do for a screenshot as a example - I'm on WinXP and don't that feature in Firefox to capture myself.

Just click on the drop-marker arrow in the Printer - Name selection box and see if Print to PDF is available.
