Msg: Re: OT: query regarding HTML

Hmmm, this looks to be quite a family of add-ons !

Can we narrow this down some ?

I see they are retaining a MAFF option for at least one of these. This allowed FireFox to do something like the IE MHT single-file archives. However, the actual MAFF extension got disapproved when they revised their add-ons architecture, so it would be nice to regain that option.

I am very fond of good browser extensions. Quite analogous to what the U2 library does for Xy !

Jordan,

Try the Firefox add-on Scrapbook. It saves HTML text and pictures
beautifully. And it is a handy Web link manager as well.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scrapbook/

There are pages that it cannot save, but they are very few.
