I'm not sure that you understood my question. Where is the Save command in IE or Firefox? I'm only familiar with a Save As or Save Page As. And if you use Ctrl/S it will default to Save As.

The point I'm trying to make is that IE will automatically display, as File Name in the Save As box, what's in the (title)(/title) tag so all you have to do is click on Save and you've saved it with an understandable name, which also happens to be the name that is displayed in the Mudcat TOC (which is what I want). I've been happily using this method for years in IE for saving thousands of web pages, and web-site rippers that I've used have similar behaviour. This method falls down, of course, if the web-page developer has neglected to place anything in the (title)(/title) tag, but in my experience this is a tiny percentage.

Now, why does Firefox break with tradition and display, for example, "thread.cfm.htm" in every Save As box for Mudcat pages? Though I'm a fast typist, having to continually type in a new file name when I'm saving dozens of files is a bit of a drag. I'm a newbie to Firefox, but I'm sure there must be some way of changing this.
