Research direction
Investigate the current implementation of 'Import to IPFS' in the extension (likely in content scripts or background scripts). Review the linked issue #59 in the Firefox addon repo for prior work. Explore how to capture entire web page including resources (CSS, images, etc.) and integrate with IPFS API to save content. Check existing discussions in comments for proposed approaches.
