Firefox and Page Title Saving Revisited

Part of getting the new computer going was getting Firefox to save page titles again. The full detailed method I explained before is here. But since I didn't have WinZip installed yet on the machine, I tried this instead:

  • Copied browser.jar to old browser.jar to have backup
     
  • Renamed browser.jar to browser.zip
     
  • Extracted the file to C:\content
     
  • Changed the contentAreaUtils.js part as explained here
     
  • Explored browser.zip and dragged-and-dropped the changed file to the right place
     
  • Changed browser.zip back to browser.jar

Have fun with the steps above. Or, at your own risk, you can use my revised browser.jar file. It works with Firefox 1.0.6 and might do with other versions. I've compressed the file to speed up downloading.

Postscript: A much easier solution now exists. See Extension For Getting Firefox To Save Pages Using Page Titles.
