Just Updated to FF 23 and can no longer save web pages

I just updated to FF 23 (running under windows 7). All of a sudden FF no longer saves web pages to disk.

I just checked and found an update to 23.0.1 and installed it. That was no help. FF still not saving web pages.

I've got over 900 gigs of disk space available on my HP desktop which is running an Intel i5 core with over 4 gigs of memory free. I am able to download and save the pages using Opera (12.16) and IE9.

I haven't found any changed or new setting which would prevent me from writing pages to disk.

Anyone else having this problem?

To save pages you can either use Firefox > Save as... or install a PDF or XPS creator, such as PDFCreator, doPDF or XPS Document Writer to create a copy of a website as displays, with no loss.

Addendum:

Can't save web page, web page complete, or text, BUT just discovered that saving an MHT from the file menu works. Weird.

You seem to have misunderstood the post.

File/save is NOT working for me on FF23. I need to save stuff as "web page complete, not PDF or other formats.

Found the problem. Went into safemode at Dan Raisch's suggestion. Saving worked. Exited and reentered in normal mode -- couldn't save. So went thru the addons one by one until I got to SaveWithURL. Turned off, I could save. Turned back on, again no go. That one was the problem.
