Why do webpages saved to my hard drive look different when I view them in Firefox than when I view them directly from the internet?

All of the information from the pages is there, but they look more "plain", as though some of the formatting is missing or something. When I saved pages to my hard drive, I expected them to look exactly the same when I re-opened them as they did when I downloaded them from the internet, but they don't.

Did you save those web pages as "Webpage, Complete" or as "Webpage, HTML only " ?

I saved them as "complete". The pages I'm saving have the text and images confined within a gray field that is narrower than my monitor screen, with solid black filling in along the sides. The pages I've saved have lost the gray backgrounds and black edges, and spread the remaining text and images across the entire width of the screen. The background for all of it becomes solid white. The two attached images show what I'm talking about.

Thanks for your help!
