Save Bookmarks As 'Cache' and Make them Available Offline
Hello people! This is what I need:
1) I have lots of bookmarks: more than 300 unique links. 2) The problem: quite often the links get broken (this is because the website they belong to change (either in content or in url structure). I don't like this: I need to check (to double-cross the information they contain) all these bookmarked pages I have, even months after saving them as bookmarks. 3) So I want this: I want to save these pages (as they appear at the time I save them as bookmarks) and to have the ability to view them (offline or online)
Note: the crucial part is I need to view these pages 'exactly' (or at least text) as they appear at the time I am saving them as bookmarks.
Note 2: Any idea on how to do this automatically (no page by page) would be GREAT!
System: Windows 7 Home Premium, Firefox: Latest
Thanx so much!!! (sorry for being a noob) :)

Hello,
1. You can right-click a page and choose Save Page As.
2. You can save pages into a collection using an add-on.
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/scrapbook/
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/read-it-later/
3. Certain web caches (e.g. Google Cache, CoralCDN, The Wayback Machine) may have the pages you're looking for saved. You can use them manually, but it's easier with an add-on.

Gingerbread Man, thanx ur pro! Scrapbook: I would have gone too far by asking how to save the pages, so that the folder name (or 'index' name) would be the title name of the original http page?
Otherwise I will have to rename 1 by 1 500 links :(-
Note: In case these add-ons don't offer the possibility to automatically save all bookmarked pages automatically (and saving their title name), I think that the default firefox 'Save Page As' is more handy.. (because it saves the page with it's title name)

You're welcome.
There's no way to change the default saved file and folder names in ScrapBook that I know of. You can check the documentation to see if I'm mistaken.
The point of ScrapBook is to allow you to organize saved web pages into a collection, and to manage this collection within Firefox. The file and folder names may not be descriptive in Windows Explorer.
This doesn't matter when viewing items in the ScrapBook manager, which lists the page title and URL it was saved from. Either click ScrapBook on the menu bar (hold down the Alt key and press C), or use the ScrapBook sidebar (hold down the Alt key and press K). To see what else ScrapBook and bookmark management have in common, see the help page:
If you want pages to be saved as soon as you open them, try the following add-on from a different author. It hasn't been updated in a couple of years, so I don't know if it works properly anymore (ScrapBook Autosave from the author of ScrapBook is even older and incompatible with the latest version of Firefox).
