I use the "Page > Save as PDF" function a lot. However, one of the most useful parts of any page, the links present in its content, are lost, they become simple text formatted in underlined blue.

How can I... 1) ...have those links active and clickable in the PDF? 2) ...have them as plain URL, markdown style, so that they are still accessible when printed on physical paper? For example: [click here](https://mozilla.org)

Hi

Thank you for your question.

We work hard to make Firefox for Android as fast and as light as possible and sometimes that means making tough decisions around what we can include.

At the present time the Save as PDF function cannot create more complex .PDF files, but this may change in a future update.
