Convert the site to PDF.

Visit a PDF conversion website, such as Pdfcrowd (http://pdfcrowd.com/) shown here. Many similar sites offer this service, including Web2PDF
(http://www.web2pdfconvert.com/), PDFmyURL (http://pdfmyurl.com/) and Website to PDF (http://websitetopdf.com/), but some sites have
trouble producing an accurate copy of Facebook pages. Of these options, Pdfcrowd works the best for Facebook specifically.

Paste the Facebook address into the box on the site by pressing Ctrl-V, and then click Convert to PDF.

Install a PDF extension.

Open the add-ons page (Ctrl-Shift-A) in Firefox 29 or above, and search for PDF to find extensions that create PDF copies of websites, such as
Print pages to Pdf (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/print-pages-to-pdf/), covered here. Most other extensions act only as
shortcuts to Web-based PDF converters, such as Save as PDF (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/save-as-pdf/), which uses
Pdfcrowd.
 Click Install by an extension to add it to Firefox, and restart the browser if requested.

Open the Options for Print pages to Pdf to change how it saves PDFs. In version 0.1.x, you need to check Show 'Save As' Dialog (and optionally
uncheck Open PDF) to save the completed PDFs rather than opening them once.
