Why do I get a file icon and an icon of Firefox when I save a Web site on my desktop?

Every time I have save a Web site on my desktop, I usually get two icons that appear on my desktop. One of the icons is the link to the website that the other is a full record of a bunch of files that I don't recognize. If I delete the file folder icon website icon deletes as well. I have not had this problem before until recently.

Is there a way to save the site on my desktop without the icon files showing?
It really clutters things upward.

I use Windows 7.

Thank you

Hey Brad,

When you click Save Page as... under where you enter the name of the file, there is a drop-down menu 'Save as Type' - change this to us Page, HTML only

However the "folder" that you mentioned contains all the images and things off the web page. If you save only the HTML code, then images will disappear from the page when it is removed from the server.

If you want to save everything in a single file, you can try something like CutePDF

Or maybe this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../save-as-pdf/ (I've never used myself well.)

Let me know if that answers your question.

THX,
Curtis

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and because the "padlock" icon never appears when you access secure Web sites, where should I look for it?

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and now the 'lock' icon is nowhere (I don't know) when you access secure Web sites. I've not seen once. It appeared in the lower right of the screen. I also have Norton Internet Security.

    Well, in the secure Web sites part of the address bar is allocated to the part of the security certificate. For example, here in these forums you can see your address bar is as follows: mozilla.com . https://support.mozilla.com... The front ' |' ("mozilla.com") is what I'm talking about. For more information on the security certificate, you can mouse over and also clicking on it.

  • I get error 194:3 and I don't see any instructions on the Web site to resolve this error

    I'm running a machine of Windows 8 and I had installed Adobe Professional 8.0. I kept having to say 'turn off later' to use the program every time I opened it. I got tired of that, so I disabled the program and uninstalled. I reinstalled and tried to activate it, and he came back and said that I would need to call to get. There is now more no telephone support. The phone said to go to the website. There is no instruction in how to resolve the error "194:3." Now, I've uninstalled a program I need, frustration and now is more functional for me because I can't get past the activation page. Could someone tell me please how to fix this.

    Moniquec11661368 I cannot find any mention of this specific activation failure, which is what leads me to the question of the process you used to uninstall.  I recommend to remove the current installation of Adobe Acrobat and then run the CC cleaning tool to remove the Adobe ID remaining licensing information.  You can find details on how to run the vacuum cleaner cleaning tool use the CC CC to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6.

  • I get a file (pixel.cgi) who wants to download when I use certain sites (Groupon / Thomas Cook).

    I get a file (pixel.cgi) who wants to download when I use certain sites (Groupon / Thomas Cook). I scanned my mac for the virus, but none can be found.

    The page has at least 3 forms invisible that automatically submit to securepaths. com which is probably some sort of tracking site. The site sends answers normally capable of managing internal Firefox, so I don't know why you're getting invited to record in the form of a download.

    The standard approach to download actions wrong is to be wary of corruption of the settings file that stores these settings. You can rename the file and Firefox to regenerate to see if that solved the problem. (You will need to review the Applications section of the Preferences dialog box to reselect the default preferences, such as your favorite email client and the PDF Viewer).

    Here's how:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press enter/return

    In the first table in the page, click the "Show in Finder" button (in Windows: "Show the file")

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > exit/Quit

    Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old

    Launch Firefox back up again. Any improvement in the research Manager pixel.cgibar?

    In case they are of some interest, I have attached the screenshots showing:

    (1) the web console (command + Alt + k) - showing that the request to this site is a PUBLICATION, which generally indicates a sending a form or submission script

    (2) source of the generated page (select all, right click, view selection source, find pixel.cgi, select all)
