I have a plan to add archive meta data that is not page specific. So far 
the only things planned are an internal archive title and a default 
index page reference. When implemented, there will be an additional 
selection in the archive open mode section of the preferences: Open 
index page.
    Also planned are browse enhancements (which include being able to 
refresh/close archives). I don't plan on adding the ability to rename 
archives, but merging, adding to and deleting pages from archives is 
planned.
    Storing archives in archives is a good way to start to send me mad. 
Heh. So don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon. I am considering 
adding additional meta data though: annotations and categories. These 
are designed to be used by my (still unreleased, but getting closer) 
mafsearch service and extension, but eventually I might add support for 
viewing / editing that meta-data in the browse dialog. We'll see.
    These planned features are a bit off in the future though as I'm 
trying to ensure I get most of the bugs that have popped up since my 
re-write out. I'm also splitting my focus as I'm working on making 
mafsearch as stable as I can for beta release.

I've experimented a bit and found that MAF and Adblock don't seem to 
like each other. If you have Adblock installed, disable it before trying 
to save pages and see if that helps. Alternately, if you work offline 
before trying to save the page(s) everything should go smoothly.
