Or maybe her browser history

True, but my understanding is that she wanted to save the pages how they were when she found them.

firefox just remembers the url, or not? when my system crashes and firefox recovers my tabs it needs to load them all from their respective servers first, so it seems like it's not "saving" the page on exit
