>I have a small request to make. Usually when you try to save a web page in Firefox, in the "File name" field of the dialog box the filename of the page is highlighted, say "mainpage.htm". But usually the titlebar of the page is more meaningful and I would like to save each page with the filename corresponding to the titlebar text. Is there a setting in it and if not, could you probably develop an extension to do it?

I don't know of a setting, but I can look into spawning that off. The 
only thing is that because of the way I get it to work, either the 
spawned extension will work or MAF will work.

I answer this in the FAQ on the site. Basically some sites tell the 
browser "don't cache this content". When you try to save the page, the 
content is then downloaded again. If you work offline, the content is 
skipped or the memory (as opposed to disk) cache is used.

This usually happens when the page is as a result of a post operation.

Well, don't change the location of the MAF temp folder. Heh. If you want 
to change the location, you ALSO have to change the mafzip and mafunzip 
scripts to point to your new location. I wouldn't recommend a RAM disk 
because the temp folder isn't cleared until the browser shuts down and 
it fills up pretty fast, especially when opening archives.

There are loads of tutorials on getting files from CVS all over the 
Internet, so I wouldn't go into that here. I've promised for a while to 
have a script that builds the XPI from source and I've placed that in 
CVS. I only tested the BAT file in Wine, but it should work. :).
