What do you mean by "can't open"?

When I use the en-US Firefox 2 on Windows XP as in your user agent I always get the page opened, but it doesn't always look right. Is that what you mean?

In both Firefox and IE, if I save as just the web page then most of the images and styles aren't applied because they're specified as relative values. Same on both as far as I can tell.

In IE if I choose the .mht archive option I get a complete mess when I open it, it appears to have lost the character encoding.

When I choose to save as "Web Page, complete" then the results look much better in IE. Both FF and IE appear to save all the same pieces, in the same-named <title>_files directory (correctly done in Persian). But in the main html file Firefox has re-written the source, and instead of referencing "<title>_files/whatever" they all look like "____%20_____%20____/whatever" and thus aren't found.

Assuming that's what you mean I can confirm it. It's not a security issue however; clearing that checkbox because all it's doing is hiding the bug from people who could fix it.

Axel: could you help me find a home for this i18n bug?

This seems to be a problem in the download manager.

If I click on the link in the download manager, I get to
%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%20%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%20%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F.htm

but when I look at the explorer and open the page from there, it is at

%D8%AC%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%B9%D9%87%20%D9%85%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%8A%20%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%86.htm

Seems that the download manager is giving the wrong link to click at. Probably it's lossy converting to ascii somewhere.

The same problem on a german WinXp when using Characters about ASC 127 in the HTML filename when saving a Web page.

My example:
HTML name: Äußerlich.html
Directory name: Äußerlich-Dateien
Image ref. in the saved HTML file: <img src="%C4u%DFerlich-Dateien/picture.jpg">

This is the normal ISO-8859-1 encoding.
%C4 = 196 = Ä (I guess on US keybord: Alt + 0 (NUM) + 1 + 9 + 6)
%DF = 223 = ß (I guess on US keybord: Alt + 0 (NUM) + 2 + 2 + 3)

Adding a <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> helps nothing.

When loading the picture from the Äußerlich-Dateien directory direct in FireFox the Pathname ist:
file:///C:/.../%C3%84u%C3%9Ferlich-Dateien/picture.jpg

Again I'm guessing, but this seems to be a UTF8 encoding.

I solved this proplem by loading the HTML file in Notepad.exe and exchanging the text
%C4u%DFerlich-Dateien
by the text
%C3%84u%C3%9Ferlich-Dateien
using the Search and Exchange dialog from the notepads Edit menu.

Now the HTML file works fine, but an automated function in FireFox would be nice ;-)

I didn't test this with CSS files and other filetypes!

hello.
i tested your given web page.
could not find جامعه مجازي، but opened some links in the above website and could save as web page complete and load it with firefox without problem!
is it possible that this bug is resolved fix now for many years ago?
i always save web pages as html only, but tested wev page complete to help you and firefox developers.
God bless you all.
