Save a complete web page, really

When you select Save Page As… in Firefox’s File menu, you don’t always get the complete web page. Some files referenced by style sheets may not be saved, leaving you with an incomplete and sometimes ugly web page.

Save Complete, is a Firefox extension developed by warhammerkid that corrects this. Select Save Complete Page As… and you will get the web page with complete styling and looking just like the one you saw on the web.

To test it I saved a web page using Firefox normal save feature and got this:

Then I saved it with Save Complete:

A nice difference. It lies in how deeper Save Complete looks for file dependencies and gets everything a browser (any) may need to recreate the complete page. In my test, Firefox alone saved 10 files besides the main HTML file. In comparison, Save Complete saved 37 files much of them background images required by the style sheets.

I think I’m saying this too much lately, but I would like to see this functionality on Firefox by default.

For alternative ways to archive web pages, check Save Page as Image extension.

You can get Save Complete at Mozilla Add-ons.
