Save Wikipedia page as complete webpage is NOT complete.
Now before someone think I'm a complete moron, please, I know how to do that: "Save Page As... Web Page, complete". I know exactly how to do that. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-save-web-page
I don't know when this exactly happened, i.e. what version of Firefox it occurred, but, now when I save Wikipedia page, it seems Javascript no longer work or saved. Previously, when I mouse over to citation, it will pop-up a tooltip. Like this: http://imgur.com/zXz9LoZ And when I click a scripted link, it expand or collapse as it should. Like this: http://imgur.com/zdWXKqr Note that, those image are saved webpages.
But now, they're gone.
The latest known saved webpage that work are dated on May 2013. Like I said before, I don't know which version was that. Currently I'm using 32.0.3 and as far as I can remember, this problem happens since 29.0.
Last but not least, I think this happens only on Wikipedia. But I don't know either if this problem was Wikipedia's fault.
So....... How is the workaround? I really need these Wikipedia features.
Regards.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode, try saving the page again.
I've just tried that but unfortunately it still doesn't work.
Any other idea?
Go to the folder where you saved the web page. There should be a file with the name of the page or the name you choose. There should ALSO be a folder with the same name. Please check this.
Yes, and then what?
It doesn't work for me either in both Firefox and in Google Chrome. Both only show a link to the notes at the bottom of the pages when I hover such a link and no tooltip. If it worked before then there has been a change in the page coding. There is a lot of JavaScript running on the pages and some scripts are loaded via load.php calls and via document.write rules.

With Firefox closed or not, open the File (not the folder). It should display.
Firefox saves the page properly as far as I can tell. Only the tooltip pop-up doesn't appear to work, so some JavaScript is failing.

This is what I meant. I guess FredMcD doesn't understand or has never saved a webpage before.
I have, many times. When I reload the page, I never had a problem.
