I don't think Firefox stores web pages, images, etc.

So if you want to save a page or image on your computer, do it while browsing.

firefox has a cache option. it does store cache files but in a format which is not readable (at least in Linux).

In the address bar type
about:cache
You will get the cache location and the files
