I quite often use Firefox to save web pages for future reference. With Firefox 4.0 I had no problem opening these saved web pages. However, when I try to open them using Firefox 5.0 an error message pops up instead saying in effect that Firefox was not able to open any saved web pages. I have since downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0.1 and I can now click on and view the saved web pages. So the problem must be just with Firefox 5.0. BTW Firefox 5.0 is running normally with active web pages. I am using it on Windows 7, 64-bit.

I found at another website a suggestion and it verified that Firefox is not at fault. When I tried to open the saved web pages from http://www.aronline.co.uk/index.html?histindef.htm with IE it could not open them either. Trying Firefox 4.0.1 did help. I even tried "Take Ownership Of" and that did no good. It seems that the website has a security feature that prevents opening saved web pages from their website.
