I tried to reproduce the problems you reported by following this procedure: * Connect to the Internet * Start Firefox and open http://maf.mozdev.org/index.html * Tick File -> Work Offline * Disconnect from the Internet * Click File -> Save Page As... * Select "Web Archive, MAFF zipped", then Save. I tried with the following versions of MAF: * 0.8.7 with the browser's save component selected * 0.9.0 with the "Save Complete" component selected * 0.9.0 with the browser's save component selected Everything worked fine, except when I tried version 0.9.0 with the "Save Complete" component; in that case, the download window hung (however, no message boxes appeared). Using the standalone "Save Complete" extension seemed to work; maybe it's a bug in the download progress bar integration, I'll investigate. In the meantime, I think you should be able to use MAF 0.9.0 with the "Save Complete" component disabled from the preferences window. Let me know if this answers your question.

Hi Dave, if you only need to view MHTML files from the Internet, I recommend you use the UnMHT extension (http://www.unmht.org/unmht/en_index.html), since it has better MHTML support than MAF, and MAF for the moment cannot open archives from remote locations anyway. However, if you need to save pages locally, I'd recommend using the MAFF format rather that MHTML; to create MAFF archives, you can use Mozilla Archive Format 0.9.0 (experimental, but compatible with the latest version of UnMHT) or MAF 0.8.7 (official stable version, but causing problems with UnMHT).

Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce the problems on my system. When I tested MAF 0.9 on Windows XP I created a MAFF file with a lot of pages, all from the same site, and both loading and saving worked correctly. With a few tabs from different sites everything seems fine too. > [1] The file saves under WinXP and opens properly in eComStation and OS > X (did not try Linux). With WinXP it stalls while opening.

The only thing that comes to my mind now is that there might be a problem while saving the pages in the temporary directory. Please try to set the temporary directory in the advanced preferences to an existing empty directory on your system, and let me know if the problem persists.
