Why is "save as" creating a separate folder for images when page is saved.

for instance, when saving ezpass document it used to save the page. now it saves the page plus creates a folder that contains images. I can't delete folder w/o loosing the page. My mistake, this should be for Firefox support.

now in Firefox support.

But to answer your question HTML is a markup language that displays images etc from files. Unlike a word processing document that included all of the elements of the document in a single file. HTML stores components of the page as individual elements. So a folder is created to hold these elements such as images, flash video sound files et cetera.

Microsoft have been promoting a MHTML file format they invented and placed in Internet explorer that is a single file storage, but it is really only supported in Internet Explorer.

There do appear to be add-ons on the add-on site to enable MHTML in firefox such as

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/mozilla-archive-format/?src=search

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/unmht/?src=search

If you have had this functionality before, perhaps you have previously installed an add-on?
