How can I save a web page without creating a dozen or more tiny files, which is worse than Internet Explorer?

When I try to save a Firefox web page, I get about a dozen tiny files with funny names cluttering up my documents folder, and making it hard to find anything. This reminds me of problems I used to have with Internet Explorer more than ten years ago. But at least, IE was kind enough to gather all of these files in a single folder, named "files". Firefox dumps them all into my documents folder. Messy.
Years ago, I discovered Opera, which offered a file format that combined the original html code with the other files into one file: an internet archive, with the extension mht instead of htm. I used Opera for years, but recently became aware of the advantages of Firefox.
A few days ago, I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, and installed it. I have been evaluating it ever since. It looks good; I have figured out (more or less) how bookmarks work, and I'm getting used to the taskbars.
But when I try to save a page, I still get a deluge of tiny files cluttering up the target folder. Firefox doesn't save pages in archive form, but only in the old scattered form. Of course, I could simply save only the html. Maybe that's the best thing, but it loses a lot.
The chaos of junky files cluttering up my target folder is enough to send me back to Opera, despite its limitations.

This extension allows for web pages to saved on MHT format. <br />

  • How can I save the web page by using the Page Title as the file name ?

    When i use Internet Explorer ,I can save the web page by using Page Title as the file name(as default no need to adjust anything). But when i use Firefox ,It can not use the Page Title to save as the file name. How can I do that like in Internet Explorer?

  • How do I save a web page so that someone else can open it?

    Sometimes I want to save web pages as archives for future reference. I thought printing as a PDF would be the most widely readable format, but items on the page are often lost and I end up with question marks.
    I have just tried "Save As" to a web archive, and that works well in Safari (meaning that Safari can reopen it perfectly), but when I emailed the file to a PC user they couldn't open it. I assumed a web archive format would be readable by any web browser; obviously that's not the case.
    How do I archive a web page so that it is universally readable without losing any content?

    A web-link won't work because the particular page I want to send requires a subscription. The story about this particular page I want to send: four of us are planning a 7-day hiking trip through some Tasmanian wilderness, and we don't go unless the weather forecast is fine. I am subscribed to a weather website, but when I send this link:
    http://www.weatherzone.com.au/models/meteogram.jsp?lt=twcid&lc=9350
    they don't get the meteograms (graphs of various weather aspects out to 10 days).
    So, I want to save the particular page and send it off. In general, though, I simply want to archive certain pages.
    In my limited testing it looks like:
    • Safari can't save a web page accurately;
    • Firefox can, but it generates a separate folder of files ( I would have to combine the two, then zip them, then email);
    • iCab may be able to, but I haven't tested it yet.
    I didn't think saving a web page, incorporated into a single file, would be so complicated.

    How can I print a Safari page without the links being printed and covering other text?

    Try printing the page as PDF.
    From your Safari menu bar click File > Print > Save As PDF then print the PDF file.
    If you don't want to do it that way, reset the print system.

  • How can I print a web page to a hard copy with Adobe?

    How can I print a web page to a hard copy with Adobe? When I print this particular page in the usual way it prints only the text of that page, not the photo that's also part of that page.

    I have Adobe SendNow, but I can buy another Adobe product if it will solve my web page printing problem.

  • How do I save a 2 page pdf (created in Illustrator) to be used in a web site?

    How do I save a 2 page pdf (created in Illustrator) to be used in a web site?
    When I save my Illustrator file as a pdf, it is about 2600 kb, my web site admin will only allow storage of 5000 kb. I tried to "save for the web", but that only saves the first page of my document. Any suggestions other than paying for more storage???

    What pdf preset are you using? Try smallest file size rather than illustrator default.
    Save for web does not do PDF, so no multipage.

  • How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg?

    How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg? The image has both a photo and various text boxes. I would like to use it in one of the Photocard websites but they only accept jpeg. Any easy solutions please.

    Hold command shift 4 and draw a box around what you want and then click again, on your desktop a .png file will appear.
    To convert it to jpeg, open it in Preview and Save as.
    if you want all your screenshots to be jpg, download the free Tinkertool and make the change.

    You can't.  (Fonts increase in size like everything else, not in height alone).

  • How can I insert en empty page without images being pushed of their place?

    I made a document that contains text and a lot of images. Now I need to inset an emptey page at the beginning of the document but when I insert a page brake, all the images in the whole document are being pushed of their place, making to document a mess. I already locked to images to see if this helps but still they are being pused out of context with the text that they are refering to. How can I insert an empty page without this hapening?
    André

    Try inserting a section break. The images should stay in their original section. Of course if you alter the text in that original section, the images will not move unless they are inline.

    Hi,
    I know the function "write to spreadsheet file.vi"
    can append the data
    to file. You can use the "concatenate strings" to display the date,
    time as well as data... Hope this help.

  • TS3991 where can I find my web page I created on web me?

    where can I find my web page I created on web me?

    I'm not sure what web me is.  Are you referring to iWeb, Apple's former web page editor/manager?
    If you mean the web page that was on MobileMe, it's been deleted.  Last month, MobileMe was shut down and iCloud took over.  Unfortunately, iCloud does not provide a web page service, nor a photo gallery.
    However, if you used iWeb to create the site, then you should still have the files on your mac.  These can be uploaded to another web provider, which you would have to subscribe to.  There are hundreds if not thousands of providers around the globe. 

  • I can't copy/save pictures of items on ebay. I can only save the web page. I can copy/save with IE. Why?

    On items listed on ebay, you can click on a picture to enlarge it. With IE I can save the picture to my computer. Firefox only allows me to save the web page. What can I do to save pictures - .jpg or .bmp?
    The same problem happens if the seller includes pictures in the text description.

    Now I cannot create a screenshot because the massage doesn't appear anymore.
    I was told that this is not my problem only. Is it the recent update that broke somethng? I've all the accounts configured correctly, MT just doesn't send or download messages.
    I tried to remove one of my accounts to re-set it, but when I tried to configure it once again Mozilla rejects it claiming the password is wrong. I triple checked, it's correct.
