Hi

My PC is on Firefox and Win7.

Recently it takes too long to save websites.

Whereas it used to take a few seconds, now it can take up to 5 mins.

How can I resolve the problem?

Thanks

Ben

I think Firefox might re-request all the elements in the page when you save the page to your hard drive using the "Web page, complete" option. But I'm not aware of any reason for that feature to have become slower in recent versions.

(I generally don't use this feature, since often "complete" website saves aren't actually complete. I usually print to PDF if I want to save a page for future reference.)
