I can save it and it works just fine.

If I save it as "web page complete". IO have a sub directory with all
the photos.

If I save it as "web page HTML only", I get no sub directories, but all
the photos show on the stored e-bay page.

Looks like a great car and a heck of a deal!

Sounds perfect. I'm glad I asked. (Though I haven't tried it yet.)

BTW,I don't think I mentioned it on either of these ngs but when I had
some satellite views in google maps and then save them with Save Page
As, when I brought them up later they were entirely black, and others on
the other group knew that this is what happens. (I haven't tried Save
Page As with map only.) I have to get up at 6 tomorrow but maybe
Fireshot will solve that problem too. (There are other ways around that
one, since I really only needed one screen's worth. More about this
later.)

After Search Add-ons didn't find it and then I googled
Fireshot add-on
there is some evidence that Fireshot is not supported anymore, and some
evidence that that will affect you too Muggles, even though you already
have it,. Maybe download all your webpages you think you want. before
you install a new version of Firefox.

I'll try more tomorrow night if I'm not busy either admiring or
repairing my car.

Well, if it quits working, I'll just remove the add-on and look for
another one that does the same thing. It's pretty handy to use when I
want to screen shot an entire web page from top to bottom.

Well, googling found it and I cliced on Add to Firefox and it dl'd and
then I got the message it couldn't be installed because it's not
compatible with ff54.

This might be related: I got to this page from a line in the Add-on
page of FF, which said nothing about Fireshot but did show up after I
searched for it and didn't find it and it said: "Missing something.
some plugins are not longer supported by FF"
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...urce=inproduct
Beginning in Firefox version 52, support for NPAPI plugins in Firefox
has ended, except for Adobe Flash. Some of the plugins that will no
longer load include Java, Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Acrobat. See
this compatibility document for details.

Good point. But I did use Web Page Complete, .

But you still solved the problem for me, because I tried Web Page HTML
only and I got all the pictures, and afaicr, I got all the text too!!

Yes I got all the text but I see the text is less sytlized. It has some
bold and italics and some text in red, but all the letters are the same
size -- Which is actually good some of the time because in the original
some words from Ebay were overlaping other words.

And the picture in the upper left works too. The row at the bottom of
it scrolls and I can click on any of them to see it.

Now I have to go back and try this with google satellite view!!! No, it
didn't help. Now the page comes back all white, instead of almost all
black. But one out of two is great!!

Thanks everyone.

/2004 Chrysler Sebring LXi | eBay_files/eBayISAPI_data contains the
reasonable-size pictures. Saving as web page complete works like a
charm, although for some reason firefox didn't like the name of the
basic page.

I'll look in the filre manager when I get back.

Thanks. I hope so. Leaving in a half hour to see it in person for
first time, and drive it home (if it runs! ;-)

Of course Google Maps shows us the results of an interactive image
painter. There is no image file to save.

Print Screen should make a copy of the page that you can paste into
any paint program.

This is very simple to do. If you have Firefox, install two add-ons,
"Noscript" and "DownThemAll". No Script will disable javascript on
the page and downthemall allows you to download all media files of a
specific type in one action.

As a test, I just downloaded all 61 pictures of the car to my system.
If you want to post an email address, I can send tem to you, as a zip,
via a file transfer service, OR, if you have access to binary groups
and know how to deal with binary files, I can upload the zip to a
group such as alt.binaries.test.

Let me know if you want them and how you would like to get them.

Not working with the latest (54) version of Firefox...
If it does not work, please reinstall it

by susbox (Developer) on June 22, 2017 · permalink

It was checked and tested with FX 54.

Not to take anything away from this add on, but it strikes me as
entirely unnecessary. On my Linux box, I'd use "xv" or "Gimp" to
just grab an image of the window.

If I recall correctly, pressing PrtScr on Windows should put the image
in your copy buffer so that you can paste the image into any image
editor (like Paint).
