  • I appreciate the tip. It was alienating at first but after some fiddling it seems like a good option. My findings–

    Pros

    • It’s able to save a page as a single file which can be opened in both Firefox and Chromium browsers (rare!)
    • It’s able to faithfully save a Github issue page that correctly renders when re-opened. (All other tools fail on a GH issue)
    • The URL is embedded on the 3rd line of the file (rare… no other tool does this)

    Cons

    • No control over where it saves the file
    • Forced GUI, no commandline (though I’m not sure if it can be hacked to run automatically in a headless Firefox or something)
    • No icon appears in the plugin tray. And cannot be added using the Firefox custom toolbar tool.
    • Default keystroke is control-shift-y (which clashes with the stock keystroke for reaching about:downloads)
    • There is no menu item for it

    I was only able to get it to work by re-assigning a custom keystroke which I will forget and have to visit the addon manager to recall.
