False alarm!!!
“save as MHT” DOES indeed appear, but only as a specific, alone-standing option in the pull-down menu (file › save as MHT)!!!
I didn’t see it, ’cos I’m used to the Ctl+S shortcut, as I basically select the whished format directly from the regular save-dialog-box (which I hope isn’t sooo far-fetched: your initial tweak seemed to function this way too…)! Maybe the guys at UnMHT should write sthg about that…

It won’t show in regular save page as dialog box nor it has been designed to do so. It will either show in File menu as Save as MHT or in right click context menu.

You can even add the button on toolbar by right clicking Customise in toolbar area and dragging the Save as MHT toolbar button to the toolbar.

G’day!

— UnMHT 4.5 re-installed since yesterday.
— Also uninstalled some FFox 3 beta that lurked on my HD (potential conflict?).
— Current FFox version: 3.0 french final v.

Parameters in the UnMHT dialog-box:
— UnMHT activated.
— Add “save as MHT” in context menu checked.
— made up some shortcut in order to save as MHT.

–› only the shortcut-gimmick works : it calls a dialog-box “save as MHT”, declined in two variants (which subtlety I don’t fully get — BTW, there seems to be an misencoding in the french version as I get sort of html-entity in the name of the second type/variant).
I still get no mention of MHT or whatsoever in the “regular” list-box (”Save page as”)…

@laurent: Strange … it works for me…I am using UnMHT 4.5 and Firefox 3 Final Version. Reinstall the latest version from http://www.unmht.org/ and then retry.

Besides, “UnMHT” only works for me in order to open .mht-archives in FFox. The option “save as… mht” simply doesn’t appear in the list box (I checked everything in the add-on’s option dialog-box and everything seemed ok).

I guess I’ll better use Opera instead…

Sorry, but though the installation worked fine, my version of FFox (3.0, French locale) ISN’T actually ABLE to produce any archive-file (nothing happens).

@Purushotham: UnMht released a Firefox 3.0 Compatible version recently. Use that.

Thank you Chris so much for the UNMHT recommendation, I’ve been screwed without MAF working on FF3, you have made FF3 usable for me, so I can now fully switch over. Thank you!

Now I can save wikipedia pages with correct layout, no problem.

Thanks very much for this trick!
I like archive format and because Mozilla didn’t support it, I usually use MS IE, but I can use FIREFOX now because there is all I want in it.

This may help all of you out a LOT more than what the author’s trick does (no offense, I’m glad I came across this post) so..

UnMHT, a firefox save/view MHT extension… the development continues…

Is there any good reason why firefox can’t save a page in a single file?

I know IE can do it, and some people keep using IE to do just this
