Bug Description
WORKAROUND:
Firefox Scrapbook Addon: https:/
-------
Firefox Information: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032711 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.8
Web pages that have been saved locally are not displaying correctly. To see this problem run the following steps:
1). Go to the jwebunit website ( http://
2). Right click on the main web page and select "Save As..."
3). Save the web page somewhere on the local drive. On Ubuntu there is an option in the save dialog specifying how to save the web page. Make sure that "Web page, complete" is selected.
4). Navigate to the location where the web page was stored and attempt to load the saved page back into firefox
At this point the web page that is loaded from the hard disk should display very differently than the real web page. Styles and elements of the original web page should be missing. I also tested this same process on Windows XP SP2 (using firefox 3.0.8) and I see the exact same behavior. This seems to eliminate the problem being caused by local browser settings (since I see the same thing under Windows and Linux on two separate machines with totally different preferences). Furthermore I was able to run steps 1 - 4 using Opera 9.64 and this produces a saved web page that displays identically to the web page navigated to on the internet.
...Additionally I just tried loading the webpage saved locally using opera and this loads into firefox correctly. So the problem appears to be with the actual web page save using firefox and not the fact that the page is saved locally.

Update - Looks like this bug report may have gone to the wrong place. I was expecting this to be submitted against firefox instead of Ubuntu... Apparently selecting --> Help --> Report a Problem inside of the firefox web browser sends bug reports to Ubuntu.

Ok, please disregard this bug report; I've got this submitted to the correct place now.

To adam. This is not a duplicate, I think, but bug 115107 needs to get fixed
first.
