Save Complete – Firefox Addon
Dec 28th
There is a very good plugin for firefox called Save Complete which allows you in Firefox to right click the page your viewing and save it – complete with graphics, js files and anything else (plus css). Why is this useful? well imagine you had a nice looking WordPress theme and wanted the rest of your site to look the same – with this you can view the demo of the theme and do a complete save then you edit the results in say Dreamweaver and make yourself a good looking page without all the hard work.
As it says on the plugin page:
Saves a webpage completely, providing a better alternative to the flawed built-in save functionality of Firefox.
Give it a whirl today – it’s just what the doctor ordered.
