Firefox

I just downloaded Firefox and think that I am having a problem. When I save something to a folder it actually shows two icons. The one for the item saved with the Firefox icon and a second with a plain yellow folder with the files.
It is quite annoying and if I delete the files folder then both icons disappear.
Is this really the way it is suppose to be?

  • So you are saving webpages using File -> Save Page As ?

    The Firefox symbol file will be the actual HTML. In Windows, by default, it has "known" file extensions turned off. It's a really Stupid idea... anyway so that would explain why it looks like you have two "folders".

    The Firefox symboled thing is actually a Firefox File - ie Firefox is associated with files with the .html (dot html) file extension.

    The other folder will contain all the images and other bits and pieces.

    So the yellow folder you are seeing is a real Folder...
    And the Firefox Symbol thingy is actually a file. That being .html file!
    You do need both of them.

    Not the clearest explanation, but I hope it helps.

    Cheers

  • Mozilla Fire Fox Benefits :----
    1. Block annoying pop-ups
    2. Google Search Toolbar
    3. Tabbed Browsing
    4. Solid Security
  • @ibklutzy - One other point. As Tim pointed out, you probably saved a web page and chose "Web page, complete" for the "Save as Type" dropdown box. The folder simply contains files like the images etc so that when you pulled up the saved page again, it would look just like the original one on the Web.

    For contrast, try doing a save with "Save As Type" set to "Web page, HTML only", then pull up the saved page - you'll immediately see the difference and get it. See the attached screenshot too.

    HTH!
