Can't save webpage as text

Why is it that for the last several versions of Firefox, if you try to save a webpage as a text file, it refuses to do so and defaults to htm? On the preceeding versions (24 and 25), you could click the drop down box, change the file type, then immediately change it back to text and it would work. Now in 26 I seem to be completely unable to do anything other than save as htm. This has been on multiple computers so it's not a Windows installation issue. Hasn't ANYONE else noticed this or am I the only one who ever needs to save a page in txt format?

Yep. thanks - that worked. Seems silly that I should have to do that - I would think if I have selected txt as the TYPE, Firefox would append the appropriate extension regardless of what the website says. I can understand HOW it happens, but it strikes me that it SHOULDN'T. Maybe I'm missing something, but if I make a selection as to how I want something saved, I want the program (whatever it is) to do what **I** want, not what it or something else THINKS is appropriate. I'm growing more and more dissatisfied with the age of automation, where every piece of software seems to want to try to save me from myself. Anyway, thanks for the very prompt response - Awesome!

  • I can't save photos from text messages and cannot access keyboard

    does anyone know why i can't save pictures from text messages received and why i am unable to access my keyboard to type out messages?

    When you press and hold on the picture...it does not give you an option to save the image?  Also for the keyboard issue...go into settings/application manager(it may also say apps/manage apps).  At the top scroll over and select all.  Scroll down and find messaging and tap on it.  If you have an option to clear data and force stop then select them(it wont delete anything).  Once done go back in the list and see if you also have anything that says keyboard or android keyboard and do the clear data/force stop on that also.

  • Can I save and read text files on a server that I host?

    Hello everyone,
    I am a java hobbiest. I was wondering if I set up my own server, running out of my house, could I have my applets save to my computer and read from my computer without having to learn JDBC and a DATABASE language. In other words could i just have my applet save and read text files from and to my server?
    I'm trying to set up a sight for my 5th grade class where parents can log into. Thanks for your time.
    Oh yeah, which is easier, learning how to set up a server or learning JDBC and a DATABASE language?
    If you have any other good idease please tell me them
    Thank you, Bryan

    Short answer: This isn't gonna work
    Long answer: For this to work, the first thing you're going to need is a static IP address and a DNS name registered -actually you don't necessarily need #2 but you're probably gonna want it and it's by far the easier of the steps.
    As far as I know to get a fixed IP address you've either gotta be directly attached to a larger network (ie university network) or get a leased line from an ISP.
    Once you've got that done come back to us.

  • How can i save all my text messages from an old iphone to iTunes on a PC?

    My apps show up, but I can't get everything tansferred over. I have to save my old text messages for legal reasons as I am going through a divorce.

    You should be able to simply back up your iPhone via iTunes and that will automatically save your iPhone text messages to your computer. If for some reason you also want to export them or print them from your PC there a various programs that will let you do that. Here's a MacWorld article with a few tips.

  • How can I save images and text data to the same file?

    I have been looking at ways to do this for a while. My main VI saves the raw data to a text file which the users then import to Excel and plot. I am trying to simplify this process and have been looking at ways to accomplish this task. I want to be able to save the raw data to a file and then save the Labview graph as well. This will eliminate the tedious task of importing the raw data into Excel and plotting it. I can save the raw data to its own file and I can use the Get Image method for the graph and save it to its own file. I am currently using the .png format. Is there a way of saving both to the same file ie, importing the image into Excel or Word etc. Before I go off doing a science project I wanted to see if anyone else had experience completing this task and had any recommendations. Thanks in advance for any help.

    well ther are a couple of ways. You could use the standard report generation VI's and make a complete report with the image of the graph embedded into the report with the raw data or you could use activeX and control excel thru LV and put the raw data into excel directly and have excel graph the data without any user interaction. I have posted a slew of VI's on the excel board if you do not have the report generation toolkit. If you could tell me which way you want to go I could possibly send you an example.
    For more information and some sample VI's and tool kits, you can go to the excel board

  • How can I save colors of text by copy and paste from a strange application

    Hi!
    When I copy colored text from a strange application to paste it into pages (4.0.2) all text is black. The colors disappear. When I look at the clipboard, I see the correct colors. In AppleWorks, MS-Office and OpenOffice the colors are copied correctly.
    What can I do to save the colors?

  • How can i save ringtone from text/email to iphone?

    I have a ringtone that I've had for many years, for some reason after getting the new iphone 5, this ringtone is not on my new phone although everything else transferred over.  Or maybe i just don't know where it is on my phone.  Anyways, I emailed and texted it to myself, but can't seem to save it to the phone.

  • PLEASE: How can I save my iphone texts and "notes" (not "the note") to my computer? I need them for reference and legal purposes. I have yet to find an app for this and iphone doesn't sync either one.

    Greetings!
    I am brand new to using a Support Community -- I'm more of a in-person show me learner but...huge snowstorm and I don't want to
    to make an appointment at a Genius Bar, driving 15 miles, especially since I asked about this once before  and no one there was able to
    give me an "official" Apple answer .  I do hope I am posting my question (and plea) for help properly.
    LOL when I had my first lil' Mac Classic, over 20 years ago, my participation in the techno world was soooo much easier, simpler.
    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for
    future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself.
    I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and
    my MacBook Pro.
    Also I often use Notes for quick journaling as well as copy and pasting from other apps, usually inspirational, that I know I am going to want
    to read again (always with credit noted ) and these too are taking up space.  If I could email myself I would but the apps I'm using don't offer that and each day there is a new commentary -- no way to go "back".
    I am currently using OS 10.6.8 on my MacBook -- my disc drive doesn't work and upgrading has to be done at the Apple Store so I don't have iCloud yet.
    My iphone 4  is running OS 6.0.1 -- no upgrade until I'm at a wifi connection -- most of the time I'm using my personal hotspot.
    I'm a very busy self-employed Nana raising grandchildren and a great-grandchild.  I don't have a lot of time and certainly not enough for copying and pasting every text as well as note and emailing it to myself.  There has got to be a better, easier way, yes?
    I'd be most appreciative of any and all assistance here.  Oh, someone mentioned to me I ought to get a "stick" for downloading but were talking
    in a language I'm still learning. 
    Thank you!

  • How can I save a file (text).....,

    ......then edit some text and save file with a new file name. Thus having both versions saved?
    I think the question is straight forward to anyone using lion. If not:-
    I write a simple text file
    This is a simple text file
    save and name as text_file_1 to my desktop
    I then edit the text
    This is a simple text file edited
    I now want to save to my desktop as text_file_2
    and have both
    text_file_1 & text_file_2 saved.
    The only solution is to copy paste into a different project, not very practical when im making hundreds of pages.
    What is the solution?
    Thanks

  • How can I save cfquery sql text, not the results

    Hi,
    I have the need to save a dynamically generated cfquery actual sql, not the results.
    I can see it in <cfdump var="#<qry_name>#"> but, how can I capture the actual sql
    and save it in a var for later use ?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    The results property of the <cfquery....> tag allows you to put that information into a variable for later use.
    I.E.
    <cfquery ... results="stuff">...</cfquery>
    <cfdump var="#stuff#">
