Title:
Locally saved webpages not displaying correctly
Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
WORKAROUND:
Firefox Scrapbook Addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/427
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firefox Information: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032711 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.8
Web pages that have been saved locally are not displaying correctly.
To see this problem run the following steps:
1). Go to the jwebunit website ( http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net/ ).
Suggesting saving a page from this website as a test since this
provided a very good example of the problem.
2). Right click on the main web page and select "Save As..."
3). Save the web page somewhere on the local drive. On Ubuntu there
is an option in the save dialog specifying how to save the web page.
Make sure that "Web page, complete" is selected.
4). Navigate to the location where the web page was stored and attempt
to load the saved page back into firefox
At this point the web page that is loaded from the hard disk should
display very differently than the real web page. Styles and elements
of the original web page should be missing. I also tested this same
process on Windows XP SP2 (using firefox 3.0.8) and I see the exact
same behavior. This seems to eliminate the problem being caused by
local browser settings (since I see the same thing under Windows and
Linux on two separate machines with totally different preferences).
Furthermore I was able to run steps 1 - 4 using Opera 9.64 and this
produces a saved web page that displays identically to the web page
navigated to on the internet.
...Additionally I just tried loading the webpage saved locally using
opera and this loads into firefox correctly. So the problem appears
to be with the actual web page save using firefox and not the fact
that the page is saved locally.

Update - Looks like this bug report may have gone to the wrong place.
I was expecting this to be submitted against firefox instead of
Ubuntu... Apparently selecting --> Help --> Report a Problem inside
of the firefox web browser sends bug reports to Ubuntu.

Ok, please disregard this bug report; I've got this submitted to the
correct place now.
