Just to clarify the expected results from the original comment: We should save the current document of the server-push stream, just as we would with client-pull (http refresh). This would allow the "Please stand by ..." bit to be saved, (as well as view-source'd, but that probably needs a seperate bug).

Adding keywords from dupe, adding most common case to the summary.

nsbeta1- per Nav triage team. If anyone can show reproducible case on a top 500 site, please renominate.

I would actually be tempted to save each part of the multipart stream in a separate file... (nontrivial when they have different types, unfortunately).

QA: per comment 8, is this an issue for top sites? For example, do travel sites send back multipart pages when giving users confirmation that they may intend to save for future reference?

Marking this as Resolved > Worksforme since the issue doesn't happen on Ubuntu 20.04 on either of the Firefox versions.
If anyone is still able to reproduce this please re-open or file a new issue.

How did you test? Note that the URL in the URL field no longer sends a multipart responses last I checked, so it's not a useful testscase for this bug.

I tested with a "bugzilla buglists" page where I saved it and it was saved as HTML and not MIME.
If you can repro this Boris we would appreciate the input.

I tested with a "bugzilla buglists" page
My point is that this page no longer uses multipart responses last I checked. Have you tested with an actual multipart page? If not, please set up a web server that serves one and test with that.

I did not know it doesn't use multipart any longer.
Installing a web server is beyond my knowledge and expertise.
If you know how to test this more thoroughly could you give me a hand and check if you can reproduce this issue?

Installing a web server is beyond my knowledge and expertise.
Can you find someone else on your team to look at this, then?
Running a local server is easy (e.g. see https://pythonbasics.org/webserver/) but writing the actual testcase is a bit more time, and I just can't devote any more time to this at this point. I've already spent several hours this week addressing needinfo requests, for something that is very much no longer my job.

@Andrei: Can you then please revert your change to the status, if you can't test it ?

I started my web server but the multipart form data page is something I havent done before, Ill do a bit of research on this and try to reproduce this issue as soon as I have more time.
Will come back with positive results hopefully.
Re-opening the issue and will retest as soon as we get the Multipart Form data page going.

Reproduced with the testcase at the top of bug 1276918. However, given that bug and its recent activity, I believe this is probably wontfix.
