saving web pages as text from mozilla

How do you force mozilla to save a web page as text? There used to be an
option whether to save as html or as text but that doesn't exist
anymore. I thought that perhaps mozilla paid attention to the file
extention but sometimes when I save 'filename.txt' it *still* saves the
html. Why is that?
