by t_wheeler, 5 years agoMight be one of the best extensions I've ever installed. Works great.
I'm using this to solve two problems:
1. "I looked this up once, where was that? What did I search for? Can I find it in my history?"
2. "I should re-read this for the next few weeks/months to reinforce what I learned."
3. "It would be great to capture the Reddit/HackerNews discussion thread along with this article."
Oh that's three. I lied. Oops. :)
My filename template is {visit-year-utc}/{visit-month-utc}/{datetime-iso}-{page-title}.html. This lets me easily identify pages from the previous month, which I then can review and update as needed. Generally I find things through Reddit or HackerNews, so I annotate the page with the post URL. That context comes in handy.
Would be nice to be able to save pages to a custom path in the filesystem. Tags would be a useful addition as well, though it's pretty easy to just do a search in the filesystem for relevant content.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17810758, a month agoAbsolument indispensable pour sauvegarder une page facilement. Le menu des préférences mériterait un peu plus de clarté.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Axolotl, a month agoAbsolute godsend in most manners the 'save selection' option is exactly what I need. However I'm running into issues with saving show/hide buttons and content it interacts with in forum pages (I can provide a link to an exact page it occurs if needed).
Broken displays be one thing but the page saver won't ever complete if these are present. A fix for this would be greatly appreciated and it would meet and exceed all my needs after. - Rated 5 out of 5by José Ángel, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19251219, 5 months agoI was looking for a feature similar to Scrapbook, which was available in an earlier version of Firefox Add-on, and I am generally satisfied with SingleFile.
However, there are some areas where it falls short on pages with images.
Many pages display images in a reduced size, and when you click on them, they enlarge, but it is a bit disappointing that you cannot capture the enlarged image.
In many cases, the enlarged images are displayed in a reduced size even if they are stored in a different directory within the same domain.
If this issue were addressed, I would be very satisfied. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19242736, 5 months ago
