Odd Firefox problem with saving pages

[Sneakgab]

For some reason I can't save webpages (or most things for that matter) with firefox. Since IE can't seem to save pages properly (and is just a generally a piece of $h!t that I have no desire to return to) this is somewhat problematic. Any tips (my browser auto-updates by the way).

This problem seemed to come right out of the blue. Well, it might have been after a crash which seemed to kill my cache (and pretty much all my temp internet records. Did try a scan check to try and fix anything that may have gone disastrously wrong there.

Any tips? thanks and much appreciation in advance (of course). :)

So you are using firefox 3.0?

You go to file->save page as

Actually I just got an error trying to save this page.

Is this the error you get?

EDIT:

It appears even with that error it was successful in saving the page.

Thanks for replying. Apologies for slowness in my own replies though.

I go to file... click save page... and nothing... No error message, no saving, nothing. It is as though I never did anything.

Oddly enough, it works on my younger brother's profile though (saving that is). I can save on his profile, but that is extremely inconvenient because it further screws up (already screwed up) records of cap usage which can be problematic.

I guess you could start a new profile and see what happens. You could copy/paste your bookmarks to your new profile.

I've always just used good ole CNTRL+D.

''I guess you could start a new profile and see what happens. You could copy/paste your bookmarks to your new profile.''

I had thought of that, but a new profile in this case would basically be significant nuisance.

Well, bookmarking a page only seems to save the address. I want to save everything on the page and access it off-line in order to save cap usage. Perhaps there is a way to make bookmarking a page save all the data on that page as well (as bookmarking seems to work).

I recently updated, and saving pages seems to work fine. Thanks for the suggestions anyway though.  :)
