I upgraded to Firefox 1.5 and soon after found all my work to make the browser save HTML pages using their title tags as the filename info had been lost. Sigh. And nope, there was no new built-in option that I could see in Firefox to make this happen. I sat down ready to do the things I covered before but decided to see if maybe, maybe someone had created an extension to do this. Hurray! Yes, a much easier solution to this problem is now at hand.
To recap, Getting Firefox To Save With Page Title As Filename from me previously covers how Firefox, unlike Internet Explorer, stupidly fails to use the HTML title tag when saving pages and why that’s useful. It also covers a hack I used on previous versions of Firefox to force it to use the title tag as the file name. Firefox and Page Title Saving Revisited from me was a follow-up post that made the process a little easier.
File Title is a Firefox extension that came out in for Firefox 1.5 or higher that does this. Just install this add-in and you’re off and running with no need to do any of the hassle I covered before. Thank you, Pavel Cvreck, for making it!
