Pages on windfinder.com use sprites to display weather symbols (wind and cloud). 
If I save such a page, and then reload it, these symbols are not visible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/kos or similar windfinder.com page. 
2. Notice that there are wind direction arrows and cloud cover symbols.
3. Save the page with File > Save page as ...
4. Open the saved webpage in Firefox
Actual Results:  
There are no wind or cloud symbols when viewing the saved page.

Expected Results:  
There should be - as in the original.

I've tried this in Windows too - and originally found it on my Nokia N810 which uses the MicroB (gecko) browser.

It's something to do with the way these symbols use sprites. A workround is to create a directory /grafiken/nav at root level and put the files sprite_sky.png & sprite_winddirs.gif in it. It then displays OK.

(This problem is not as trivial as it looks. When sailing I save these pages in case I cannot get internet access - and I need the wind direction!)

I see those are backgrounds given to table cells using CSS then it's bug 115107.
