Steps to reproduce:

Downloaded a web page from Firefox from File -> Save Page As...


Actual results:

It downloaded all files as expected: The HTML page, and a separate directory with all the .css, .js, .png -files.


Expected results:

This feature is very useful in Firefox, but it's harder to do with command line programs.

wget --page-requisites (even with the -r option in addition) failed to do this for me for example.

A work around is to use this Firefox script: https://github.com/abiyani/automate-save-page-as -- 
Automate browser's "Save Page As" operation
Component: Untriaged → Shell Integration
Firefox is not a command line application hence boldly closing this task as out of scope. 
You are free to use any automation tools to instruct Firefox to do such things, or

If wget fails, please feel free to report a feature request or bug report to wget.
