Firefox "save as" dialog usability problem

[agro1986]

The "save as" dialog by default doesn't show whether images are saved or not (or whether the page is saved as text only). User needs to open "browse for other folders", which doesn't have anything to do with file types.

Suggestion: The file type control should always be shown, separated from "browse for other folders".

By default it saves as 'Web page, complete', so there's no danger of 'data loss' if you don't find the combo. However, the combo is _highly_ undiscoverable where it is now.

I propose a new dialog layout:

Name: [ ]
Save as: [ |v]

Save in folder: [ |v]
> Browse for other folders

As an aside, the dialog title 'Save As' does not match the File menu entry "Save Page As...".

It does save the whole page by default, which is what most people want. I'm going to close this and suggest that making a more feature-rich, yet tidy save dilog can be filed as a feature request upstream.
