You never know, there might be something (hopefully there is!!). IE
Text Archiver is something I rely upon heavily when I'm doing
research. But as the name implies, it seems to only work in IE.

So far Firefox is great in these ways: it definitely does load
quicker than IE / it saves full webpages, too which was really the
main reason I left Netscape all those years ago!

The thing missing is get figure out how to get an IE LINKS-like
toolbar to work in Firefox and to get something like the IE Text
Archiver this msg is about, and I'll be all set.

For those who don't know, IE Text Archiver saves snippets of text you
select to SEPARATE text files in a destination folder of your choice.
It automatically date/time stamps each file along with the source URL.

Cheers!

I switched to Firefox 0.9 as my default browser few days ago, after many
years with IE6, then I'm not an expert :)

Anyway, I've installed the extension Send To that I think achieves what
you're looking for. See its homepage:

===== I agree , although it does put clips in one file , instead of different
files , it's the best there is right now ============

<sigh> Well, at least there's something available. I'm just going to
have to learn to live with this behaviour.

Tell me, though, with these extensions, they install directly. Any
way to retrieve the file somehow? When I do a wipe of my OS, I'd like
to use that file again and not to have to go through a
web-installation again.

Thanks much! Appreciate the info very much.

2 down, 1 to go! <g>

Right-click, save as. To install the resulting .xpi file, drag and
drop it onto an open Firefox window.
