270437 - The option of downloading websites

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[talf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

There is a feature I think might be proper to add: The feature is an option to
download websites. I do not talk about saving a certain page, this can be done.
I talk about saving the page and all the pages linked to it (and maybe the pages
linked to them and so on) and keeping the links. There are programs that do it,
but usually one should write the URL (and maybe tell how deep one wants the
download to be). This does not work with websites that need a password in order
to get into. I think an equivalent to 'Save Page As...', but with the option to
save the links from this page as well might be useful.

Reproducible: Always

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
