You might also want to try org-board:

    https://github.com/scallywag/org-board

It offers archiving, diffing between archives, and anything `wget' can
do (see its manual for more details).  I haven't integrated it with
Firefox, but if you can

    a) Get the current URL from Firefox,
    b) Send it to Emacs,
    c) Open a dedicated web bookmark file buffer, create a heading for
       the URL, and run `org-board-archive',

then org-board would take care of archiving the site exactly as you see
it in the browser.

Cheers,
Charles
