173983 - Save Page As should have option to use page title as filename, with URL in comment

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 173982

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, enhancement)

Description

[Alex]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: 2002091014

I have found it very useful to save web pages to disk, instead of bookmarking 
them.  This allows text searching, and keeps the text in case the webpages are 
taken offline.

I have been using MS-IE for that.  I wish that Mozilla would handle page 
saving the same way as MS-IE (page title in filename, original page URL in a 
description line), as this is the only thing keeping me from scrapping MS-IE 
completely and using Mozilla exclusively.

I am sure it was erroneous to mark this bug as a duplicate of 125729. The
essence of this bug is different from the other's. Please reopen it.

Seems to be different from 125729 to me.
I'd like an option to use title as filename as well (even if it were a hack in
the .js file).

"BBC NEWS - Science/Nature - Science cracks killer bug's code.html" is just so
much easier to find than "3677756.stm".

Note: special characters would have to be converted,

Re-opening to dupe to bug 173982, which is a more appropriate dupe. Apologies for the bugspam.
