893563 - Firefox cannot save very large pages (loaded by AutoPager)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[No Real Name, Thanks]

Attachment: why.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.72 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open up a webpage
2) Load many more pages with AutoPager
3) Try to save down the site


Actual results:

Save works for like 3-5 loaded pages.
But if you load many pages, like 100 of them, the save feature just gets stuck.
There is a download showing in the Download Manager, but it just won't do anything.

(There is no I/O or CPU usage during this. I tried using AMD Radeon Ramdisk, but it didn't help.)


Expected results:

Firefox should:
- Show the progress of the save (not necessary)
- Save the page, actually.

Does it work normally in previous versions of Firefox?

No, this happened with previous versions as well.
It just shows an alien estimation and gets stuck.

It would be great if someone could fix this.
(I'm not an expert with FF's code.)

Hi,

I've tried installing AutoPager add-on for Firefox, but it's unavailable for the latest Firefox release(43.0.4). I've also found AutoPager Fixed and tried installing that but it doesn't work for me, the version is compatible only with Firefox 38.0. After installing it, I haven't observed any changes in the browser interface.

User Agent 	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0

Are you still using this addon ?  

Thanks,
Cipri
