This is going to tell you how to fix Mozilla 1.x to use the Window Title instead of the file name when you select “Save Page As”!

The default behavior is to use the FILE name of the page, and if that fails, the name of the cgi-script that generated the page.

This is less than useful. Even IE gets this part right!

Example: http://www.simhq.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=000373

The default Mozilla behavior is to generate the default file name of:

     ultimatebb.cgi.html

Which is worse than less than useless.

A better option would be to use the Window Title to become :

   SimHQ Forums Real pilots  PC-stick vs Real stick.htm

 

So there is the motivation, seems the Mozilla folks don’t think this is a problem and I don’t think they are going to fix it anytime soon. Matter of fact they are the ones that actually broke it. It worked correctly in up to 1.0.1! So keep reading if you want to learn how to fix this yourself!
