Why do complete web pages download as a file and a folder on macs as opposed to the single file downloads in safari?

Is it necessary to have both a folder full of files and a individual file appear whenever I want to download a complete web page in firefox. This is not the case in safari. It is inconvenient to have to keep two icons for every web page, and if I put the file icon into the folder of other files that download with each web page it is not a simple click of an icon to open the page offline. I have to go into the folder and find the file icon. Am I missing some setting to make this work as easily in firefox as it does in safari? Thanks.

Safari use webarchive format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webarchive
Firefox doesn't include a similar feature, but a feature like that can be added via either the MAF extension or the UnMHT extension. <br />

    Thank you, it worked with just F5. I don't know whether CTRL + F5 would work because the problem has not come back yet!

  • Hi everyone. I am getting the Invalid signature message when installing Itunes and when I try and download directly from apples page I'm prompted to save the EXE.setup file and then nothing happens, it goes straight to the "thanks for downloading itunes"

    Hi all, as Ive said in the question, anyone help me with this, have tried most of the suggestions Ive found so far.

    No, Nothing happened, nothing was downloaded. When I say nothing happened I mean NOTHING HAPPENED, What can I say to make it more clear. How could I run a file that wasn't downloaded.....Nothing happened, rien, nada, b***** all. Why would I post a message saying "When I press the Save button nothing happens" if something had been downloaded.
    I've found out why. It is because I am using Firefox. Presumably a case of Apple treating us users of the superior Operating system (Windows) with distain.

  • Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

    Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

    The type is small on the website but that's because of all the stuff that they are cramming onto the page. A couple of other users made this same comment about eBay a while ago, as I recall.
    There is no setting in Safari in which you can enlarge the size of the text.

  • Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

    Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

    cor-el,
    Yes, I will....the next time it happens. In the past it has happened to AOL a number of times (which is usually my home page), as well as some Yuku message boards I visit...The History Channel A&E, Spike TV, all at various times.
    Unfortunately, this morning when it happened to one of the Yuku message board, I went directly to the tool bar, cleared my cache and cookies, without capturing a screenshot. Now , everything I've bookmarked is working properly but I will tell you it's a problem that I only experience on Firefox and not any other browsers, even when I've imported bookmarks from Firefox. It's been a fairly consistent problem for the past 6 months or so where I manually uninstalled, reinstalled Firefox (my preferred browser) and again, manually started bookmarking my sites all over again. It seems that when it happens most of the icons, graphics and photographs are missing, leaving me with only disorganized text.
    The next time that it occurs, I will take a screen shot and forward it to you.
    Thanks for you interest and help.

  • Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

    Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?  I assume those black lines are around photos or objects that have had a frame or drop shadow added to it, right?  If so that's a known issue. 
    There's a workaround for that in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File.  That should get rid of those black lines/boxes.

  • HT1725 i recently downloaded an album from itunes but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i try to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what but what action should i take to repair the files or get my money back?

    i recently downloaded an album from itunes and from what it appeared, everything completely downloaded, but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i want to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what. what actions should i take to either repair the files or get my money back from itunes?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

    When you go to "Report a problem" next to the item (Great Gatsby) on the email invoice or on the online account  - it takes you to online support - if you elect problems with iTune downloads the page NEVER opens...  no email contact. Please help

    This is bad - I have an Apple automated response that they got my report on 12/6, 12/10 and 12/14, and I haven't heard anything from them since the 6th when I got one reply that told me to do things I tried before reporting the problem. Between the 6th and 10th I replied to their response 4 times and they ignored me, forcing me to report a problem with two more items that wont download but getting no response.
    How do they get away with this kind of behavior, especially for someone with FIVE Core 2 Duo macs and thousands of dollars of of iTunes store purchases? I'm getting really ******.

    In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
    The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
    Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
    You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

    Our iPads work just fine behind a firewall and the Lightspeed filtering solution in an education environment.  If your proxy solution cannot be configured to support IOS maybe you should be looking at another vendor.  Products such as 8e6 and Lightspeed can be deployed without the use of a traditional proxy set up.

    Okay, so, fast forward from July to now -
    - I've visited my closest Apple store's genius bar twice now. (Over an hour and a half away.)
    - My computer spent at least 8 hours behind their closed doors in the workshop
    - Several complete erases of the harddrive have taken place
    - Most of the Apple geniuses I dealt with were nice and very knowledgeable, but they were and still aren't 100% sure exactly what is wrong with my computer.
    The good news is:
    - They were able to at least get it running again, with a clean install from their servers of OS X Lion 10.7.5
    - They believe that my problems stem from either 1 of 2 things:
            - Faulty Hard Drive (even though it is brand new)
             - The wrong build of software being installed.
    Now, while the wrong build does seem like it could be the problem, it doesn't make sense in the aspect that all of the initial problems began when the first hard drive failed. The same problems continued when I changed out the failed hard drive with the brand spanking new one, and only slightly improved when I was able to successfully install the OS that came with the original disks for my computer. I'm not convinced this thing is back to normal, but hopefully I can make it last through getting a shiny new retina Macbook Pro in the coming future. Thank you so much to everyone who read and replied to this post!

    I have no idea what "yodot" is (let me Google it...). OK, looks as if it's a file recovery utility for Windows. Not sure why you'd need that...
    ...are you saying that you're getting a message that your disk is full? Please provide further information... see How to help us help you on these forums.
