- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13963076, 6 years agoFirst usage, worked out of the box. Didn't save the hrefs on the page but that's ok and it's more than enough for what I needed. Will update in the future as I'm using it but so far so good for now.
Kudos to the devs, this surely works way better than firefox option to save a full webpage, and that's a pro for sure. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14154398, 6 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by ATX69, 6 years agoThis addon is mediocre. Nowhere near as good as UNMHT was, but that one didn't get updated to work with these newer versions of FF, and that's a big loss. Save Page WE can't save this or that; I'm constantly getting messages about it not being able to save some part or parts of the page, and sometimes it doesn't save anything at all--it just doesn't respond to any attempts to save a page! You'll see the floppy disk icon change color which indicates you've clicked it to save something, but nothing happens. All I can say is, I never had these problems with UNMHT, which saved everything. Worse yet, I look for some other addon that might do the same thing, but I find nothing! The only solution I could think of was to download a portable version of FF v56 and download UNMHT for it, as well as some other addons that haven't been updated for FF. Meh.

posted 6 years agoSave Page WE is designed to save a web page as currently displayed. This is almost identical UnMHT's save 'Current State'. There is currently no equivalent to UnMHT's save 'Original File'. It would be possible to add this feature to Save Page WE, but not many users have requested this feature.
With regards to Save Page WE not saving pages, please can you provide a link to a page that is not saved. Please email to: dw-dev@gmx.com - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13114579, 6 years agoPerfect for our needs, and able to be used right out-of-the-box!
We backup created content hourly, and until this extension, we've simply been copy-pasting into a Google Doc (unlimited storage, formatting, etc. - rudimentary, sure, but effective).
This saves the page exactly as it appears in a browser, to a single, cross-browser-compatible file (rather than a folder of files & main htm file, such as "Save Page As" in Firefox Menu). One click, and the full file is saved in Downloads (by default).
File size appears to range from 1-3mb (obviously site / page dependent) - point being, it's consistent, manageable, and not filled with unnecessary options or ads.
Kudos, DW-dev, and thank you! - Rated 5 out of 5by curi0, 6 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14135626, 6 years agoIt doesn't save the whole page, only the things that are currently displayed in the browser window. This is not what I expected from an addon with the name "Save Page".

posted 6 years agoSave Page WE is designed to save a web page as currently displayed. The documentation on the Save Page WE homepage on Mozilla Add-ons did not make this completely clear. The documentation has now been updated. - Rated 4 out of 5by davidb98, 7 years agoenables single file save and includes url pointer to the source

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13813662, 7 years agoVery handy. Great for archiving things locally to your computer.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14085925, 7 years agoThis does not work as well as unMHT. When I save pages from the UK Met Office e.g. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/mobile/forecast/gcqx6uk8k with SPWE I cannot open the tabs for the days of the week. But it works perfectly with unMHT. This add-on does not deserve even a single star.

posted 7 years agoSave Page WE is designed to save the current state of a web page ‒ as it is currently displayed. - Rated 5 out of 5by -=|MisterY|=-, 7 years agoThanks a lot for the prompt feedback! Setting the Referrer Header helped in this case!
Developer response
posted 7 years agoTo resolve this problem, please try either or both of these solutions:
‒ Scroll to the bottom of the page, to force images to load, before using Save Page WE.
‒ Set the Referer Header option to "Send referer header with origin and path". - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14077163, 7 years agoПриложение удобное, т.к. позволяет сохранить один компактный файл, который можно открыть даже в другом браузере. Но, у дополнения есть очень большой "минус" в отличие от UnMHT. При избытке на многих страницах материала (рекламы и т.п.) оно не позволяет сохранять отдельные выделенные элементы страницы.

Also this one is lacking documentation - there's no explanation of the special fields in Saved File Name. Is there any way to customize them and are there any fields beyond doman, date and time?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe only fields available are %DOMAIN%, %DATE% and %TIME%. These fields may appear in any order in the file name prefix and/or suffix, together with normal text. - Rated 3 out of 5by bonbonbillo, 7 years agomany times can not save pictures, eg:articles of toutiao.com. not as good as unMHT.

posted 7 years agoSave Page WE always saves the current state of the web page. This means Save Page WE will only save images that have already been loaded.
Just scroll to the bottom of the page, to force images to load, before using Save Page WE. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12697017, 7 years agoexcellent extension...only 1 thing I miss: in UNMHT you had the option to save multiple tabs as .mht at once (either as a single-file mht or one mht file per page). COuld you please implement this option too?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14051258, 7 years agoFantastic!! Saving one single web page used to leave dozens or even hundreds of small files in a folder that could get separated from the html. Now it is ALL IN ONE DOCUMENT. What an improvement! I wish I had this years ago. I only wish I could go back and convert my old ones into this format.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13970483, 7 years agoWhy there is no choice of a folder for saving a file?
Почему нет выбора папки для сохранения файла?Developer response
posted 7 years agoPlease follow these steps:
1. On the Firefox main menu bar, select ‘Tools’ and then ‘Options’.
2. Scroll down to the ‘Files and Applications’ section.
3. Set the ‘Downloads’ option to ‘Always ask you where to save files’.
Now when you use Save Page WE:
1. A popup window will open with two options: ‘Open with’ and ‘Save File’.
2. To save the file, select ‘Save File’ and click on ‘OK’.
3. A 'Save As' window will open allowing you to choose where to save the file. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14042328, 7 years agoPrior to your update of this add-on, I could save any .xml page as a single .html file with a single click. As of 5/19/18, I get an error message, it won't save it at all, and much time spent setting the options on the add on is fruitless. I have relied on this add-on for months to simply convert my newsfeed xml to a single html document for viewing online, and I've pointed search engines to this html file. Now this add on doesn't work do this at all, and I'm spending time on a Sunday I needed to spend elsewhere trying to fix something that wasn't broken to begin with. Please re-enable this capability with the awareness that I am experiencing real and significant harm by relying on an add-on your making it available invited me to use only to suffer precisely because I accepted your invitation to use it. By any reasonable standard, that's not good.

posted 7 years agoThe first thing to say is that Save Page WE is designed to save HTML pages, not XML pages.
With Save Page WE 9.7 & 9.8, it was possible to save XML pages providing the 'new save method' option was enabled. Unfortunately, some problems were found with the 'new save method', so it was removed in Save Page WE 9.9, and it is no longer possible to save XML pages. Apologies for any inconvenience. - Rated 5 out of 5by grahamperrin, 7 years ago
