I'd like to make the switch over to Firefox from IE. In the past, when
saving a web page using IE I have always chosen to save it using the
"Single File" option. That results in just a single file being stored.
If I save it as "Web Page" in IE, it results in both a folder and a file
being saved. That results in stored folders all over the place and
then I can't easily tell the folders I set up from those that IE
saved.

In using Firefox I can't a way to save files the "Single File" way and
the result is, again, a growing surfeit of saved folders again. Please
show how to save
web pages using the equivalent of the "single file" method in Firefox,
or be able to show that this option is not available at this time.
Thanks.

From the File Menu, choose Save Page As.
From the Save As Type dropdown at the bottom of the dialog box, choose
Web Page, HTML Only.

Does this method have the effect you are looking for? If it does,
please let me know and I will post an official answer.
