Step 1
Write an article or find the web page for later reading. If you don't already have one then open a Gmail email account because it works with the Firefox browser. This can be a throw away email account if you only want to use it to back up web pages.

Step 2
Right click anywhere on the page. This brings a pop up box from your mouse that will give you several options. One of these options is to bookmark the page. Don't. Although bookmarking saves the page it doesn't preserve the dates and it takes up memory on your computer. It might be a small amount of memory but it adds up and if your computer crashes you lose all your information.
There have been several bookmarking sites popping up all over the internet. This is just an alternative to using one of those and one less account you need to sign up for if you already have an email account. This is actually very quick and helpful because it's about five hand motions and your information is backed up. -
Step 3
Scroll down to "send to" which has an arrow pointing to the right.
Select Gmail, the email page will pop up (if you are already signed in), type your name in the "to" box then select it, and press send. You are done.
Your email will show the time and date the email was sent if this is every needed. This is helpful if are a content writer because in every system there are bound to be glitches in publishing. If your article or content is removed this can serve as documentation.
