Granted I've been busy, but I didn't see your post about any MAF 
problems either on the list or via bugzilla. "MAF files are missing" 
doesn't help me diagnose the problem you seem to be having. MAF saves 
MAFF pages in two stages, first it saves a copy of the page in a temp 
folder and then it calls a script to archive the page. What can cause 
MAF to stop working is when the preferences are changed to non-working 
values or the script files used are corruped or changed somehow. A 
preference change that can cause this is changing the temp folder. If 
you change that without changing the corresponding values in the script, 
the script executes but is looking in the wrong folder for content. With 
nothing there it just does nothing, completes and reports back to 
Mozilla which just waits for the script to complete and alerts the user 
when it's done.

If you load defaults, save and ensure that the scripts and executables 
are where they say they are in the preferences, you should have no problems.

Christopher.
