What file extension does that other folder that stores the extra files have?

Windows may not recognize it as a connected pair of files.

• https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb776887%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

as an example i will save this page the result is:

firefox 50 Webpages will not save correctly, HTML pairing is broken with firefox 50 _ Firefox Support Forum _ Mozilla Support.htm and the folder Webpages will not save correctly, HTML pairing is broken with firefox 50 _ Firefox Support Forum _ Mozilla Support Archivos

with internet explorer this results in:

Webpages will not save correctly, HTML pairing is broken with firefox 50 Firefox Support Forum Mozilla Support.htm

Webpages will not save correctly, HTML pairing is broken with firefox 50 Firefox Support Forum Mozilla Support_archivos

so it seems that firefox 50 is not adding the "_" symbol before the word files or Archivos resulting in a broken webpage folder also the letter following the symbol should be a lowercase letter, i just found that i can fix the problem by renaming the folder with the correct format.

how can i make firefox 50 make the name correction for future saves from now on?

Hmm, mine is working okay on the English U.S. locale of Firefox (32-bit) on Windows 7 (64-bit) -- I get _files on the end of the folder name for this thread.

I don't know why it would be broken for a different language; what is your locale code?

Does it affect pages with short titles as well, or only long titles?

By the way, most of your plugins look to be in serious need of updating -- if you allow site to activate them. Acrobat, Flash, Java, and VLC definitely have updates.

• Acrobat: use the internal updater of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat - Help menu > Check for Updates

• Flash: use the Flash Control Panel installed in Windows, or download a small installer from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ (uncheck unwanted extras), or get a full installer using https://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe

• Java: use the Java Control Panel installed in Windows, or go to https://www.java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp

• VLC: if you run the VLC Media Player application, you can use Help > Check for Updates

i think that the issue is the locale, i have win 7 in spanish in the trouble machine, its mexican spanish, so the correct way that webpage folders should be saved is with "filename_archivos"

but the one i have its saving them as "filename Archivos"

so firefox in spanish for mexico is saving them wrong -

it is not an issue if i could modify window´s registry to accept this other folder name as a correct name "string" or valid string in addition to my system´s default one, but for now i have no idea of what registry values or strings to look for, i tried for the past few minutes but i found nothing using "_archivos" in regedit, some help for looking for these would be appreciated, thanks in advance & for the replies

in addition, is there a way to modify how firefox names the webfolders inside the about:config menu?

Hi firezorro, I do not see any way to modify this in about:config. I tried to figure out what might have changed in Firefox 50 and so far I can't spot it.

I found a couple parts of the code where (maybe?) the folder name is calculated, but I don't know where it finds "_files" or "_archivos".

https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/toolkit/content/contentAreaUtils.js#544

https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/embedding/components/webbrowserpersist/nsWebBrowserPersist.cpp#466

does firefox affect windows´s registry?

if so that is where the folders might get their names, so far i have found no way to hack the registry into accepting this alternate name paths as linked files and folders.

the good news is that renaming the folders to the correct "linkable" way does not affect how firefox nor any other browser opens them, so at least i can use a bulk renaming utility to replace "filename Archivos" to "filename_archivos" once on a while

by the way if anybody is interested to try and see if this happens the vesion of firefox i´m using is Spanish (Mexico) Español (de México) https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-50.0.2-SSL&os=win64&lang=es-MX -

Hi firezorro, Firefox derives some settings from the Windows registry, but I don't know about this one.

Do the links in the .html file work correctly after you rename the folder, or does it break the links?

filesFolder=%S Archivos

As you can see in my above post: the '_' is missing before Archivos, so this looks like a bug.

• "%S Archivos" instead of %S_Archivos

unfortunately ,the problem of the folder and the file gets resolved, but the webpages do not display nor work corectly , until you re-name it back to "filename Archivos"

I was afraid of that. I think for now you need to manually move the "Archivos" folder around with the .htm file.

You would have to edit the main HTML file and correct all " Archivos" in the file to "_Archivos". Unfortunately the language packs are signed just like extensions, so it isn't possible to install the es-MX language pack and edit this entry in the Commands.properties file.

blast, so we have to wait for the next release to have the bug fixed i suppose, in the meantime i guess i'll look into searching for a registry fix to accept firefoxe's html folder naming format.

If i can find such thing ill post it here and declare 

the problem solved
