When a save a web page using the "Save Complete Web Page", a folder appears in the chosen location with a large amount of files: JavaScripts, jpg, png, Text files, etc... How do I reopen this saved web page, especially "without an internet connection"? Thanks!

You can open pages that you saved from internet via the usual way just like you would open a file or an image in Firefox via "File -> Open File" or by dragging the file in a Firefox tab.

Note that you can also create (download) a full page screenshot.

Hi, it also saves the site usually with the full name of the site. You can find this out by changing your Downloads to Always Ask and it will then show the name of the HTML that is needed to view the site. Also you can then Change things up and create a folder and have it all download there. Even the HTML file. You will have to search for that file as to where it put it. Usually the Desktop and cut/paste to the folder. Or re-save the page to find the name your looking for.

This is not a perfect way to view pages offline as it will try to connect due to the code. Is good if wanting the code or directories to follow to a picture. This would possibly be better to view pages offline and it is in Firefox already just not active : https://getpocket.com/firefox/

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
