This might not be at all useful but you can judge that.

$ cd .mozilla/firefox/xyzasdf.default/Cache
$ for cachefile in * ; do file $cachefile; done | grep HTML

lynx -force_html whatever_looks_likely_from_the_output_of_the_above

if you're going that way you probably prefer pages that don't need images
and javascript, a largish cache setting in firefox and don't clear out the
cache on shutdown.
