They do in Chromium and Opera.

What do you mean by "copy"? you mean save the page as?

Comment 2

Yes, "save as" (or copy source into another file) and display as a page on localhost (I am using Apache)

The error shown in the console is a firequery issue, with the add-on. You should report it to the add-on's developers.

I'm not clear on why the typeahead functionality doesn't work locally, but it's not related to the add-on (still broken on my main 34 profile which doesn't have it). If you need help with your webpage, something like stackoverflow is more appropriate than a browser bug database like this one. It's not clear whether this isn't just a bug in twitter's typeahead library, and I'm failing at trying to debug this, even when it does work, so I'm not sure what's going on.

If you think there's a firefox bug here, please reopen and provide more details as to what is going wrong that causes the page not to work locally, and ideally attach a more minimal testcase.
