can't save webpage as text
Why is it that for the last several versions of Firefox, if you try to save a webpage as a text file, it refuses to do so and defaults to htm? On the preceeding versions (24 and 25), you could click the drop down box, change the file type, then immediately change it back to text and it would work. Now in 26 I seem to be completely unable to do anything other than save as htm. This has been on multiple computers so it's not a Windows installation issue. Hasn't ANYONE else noticed this or am I the only one who ever needs to save a page in txt format?

Did you try to add .txt file extension in the "Save Page As" dialog?
Firefox defaults to the file name as send by the server and if that is an .html file then you will have to change the file name to .txt or add a .txt file extension if you want to have a text file.

Yep. thanks - that worked. Seems silly that I should have to do that - I would think if I have selected txt as the TYPE, Firefox would append the appropriate extension regardless of what the website says. I can understand HOW it happens, but it strikes me that it SHOULDN'T. Maybe I'm missing something, but if I make a selection as to how I want something saved, I want the program (whatever it is) to do what **I** want, not what it or something else THINKS is appropriate. I'm growing more and more dissatisfied with the age of automation, where every piece of software seems to want to try to save me from myself. Anyway, thanks for the very prompt response - Awesome!
system crashed when I posted - sent two replies. :(
