Originally occured with .MAFF functions, Firefox refused to save any file with a .maf and a .mhtml in the save as dialog window. On further investigation, 'save as' did not correctly link file with file folder contents for save as "web page complete". I had trouble isolating what actual extension was used when trying to save as complete web page, but I think it just doesn't give it one. Upon adding the .htm/.html extension to the filename, it was correctly linked by windows with its 'extra folder' (don't know how to describe it), but I do not know how many times I have erronoeusly saved complete web pages that wound up with no extentions. Also noted, about mozilla archive, fic was achieved by deleting 'extensions.ini' 'extensions.cache' and 'extensions.rdf' while Firefox was offline. Thank you for investigated this issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to any url
2.click save page as
3.select "Web Page, complete" in 'save as type' menu box
Actual Results:  
folder called FILENAME_files was created and a file named FILENAME

Expected Results:  
folder called FILENAME_files to be created and a file named FILENAME.html
Works for me with the url that you gave, <http://www.psc-cavers.org/>. I see a Potomac Speleological Club.htm and a Potomac Speleological Club_files.
