Auto Save Document
Autosave is a small extension, which can be used to store the currently shown document in a seperate directory automatically when browsing a certain site. You may configure the sites, where all pages will be stored to cache, by adding them to a list. The documents are stored as html-text only (no embedded objects like pictures etc.) The files are cyclic reused, e.g. if you set the cache size to 100, Autosave will store the document contents to X:/MyCache/Autosave_0.html ... AutoSave_100.html and start again with AutoSave_0.htm when the 101st page is browsed. A small Icon in the statusbar will change its colour each time to indicate a page was written.If you click this small icon, the current page will be dumped, regardless if the site is in the autosave list or not.NOTE: this extension is really, really simple! Only plain text is saved, no external .css,.js => the result may look ugly! The one and only intention for this extension is, to save the text for external parsing or similar! Look for Scrapbook etc. in case you want to store more than the plain text!

Feature-rich web pages might get very crumbled (although i don't understand the unrelated things like the icons in your document, maybe due to some javascript in those pages ). The main goal was, only to extract all text for external parsers. For storing pages with all features, you might look for other extensions (maybe Scrapbook?)A Note to the comment from PK:I'm sorry of your problems, although i really prefer more helpful comments.to explain the purpose a little bit more:The browser cache of Mozilla is difficult to read. I use a tool to scan certain cached pages, but failed to do it with Mozilla (Opera and Internet Explorer store the pages 'as gotten from WWW' and can more easily be parsed). To circumvent this problem, i wrote this extension, my scanner now looks in the AutoSave-Cache for new files and parses them as it does with IE/Opera cached Pages.It's true you have to create any directory somewhere, e.g. c:/data/cache or something like that. But it does not conflict with any installed program, you may freely choose 'any directory' before adding websites to store.I also tried to reproduce your problem with https://addons.mozilla.org/search.php?q=cache+status&app=firefox.but i get the result as expected: the page is saved in c:/data/cache as plain text. Maybe you have some programs installed, which complain about https pages stored locally (what generally is not a good idea)
