SingleFile

SingleFile is a WebExtension compatible with Chrome, Firefox (Desktop and Mobile), Opera, and Edge that helps you to save a complete web page into a single HTML file.

Install

• Firefox Add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file
• Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/mpiodijhokgodhhofbcjdecpffjipkle
• Edge, Opera: The extension is not on the store yet, you must download the zip file (https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/archive/master.zip) and install it manually

Getting started

• Wait until the page is fully loaded, you may need to scroll down the entire page to be sure all elements are loaded.
• Click on the SingleFile button in the extension toolbar to save the page.

Additional notes

• To save multiple tabs, select them first and click on the SingleFile button.
• Open the context menu by right-clicking the SingleFile button in the extension toolbar or on the webpage. It allows you to save:
  • the current tab,
  • or the selected content,
  • or the selected frame.
• You can also process multiple tabs in one click and save:
  • the selected tabs,
  • or the unpinned tabs,
  • or all the tabs.
• The context menu also allows you to activate the auto-save of:
  • the current tab,
  • or the unpinned tabs,
  • or all the tabs.
• With auto-save active, pages are automatically saved every time after being loaded (or before being unloaded if not).
• Right-click on the SingleFile button and select "Options" to open the options page.
• The default save folder is the download folder configured in your browser, cf. about:preferences in Firefox and chrome://settings in Chrome.
• You can use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+X to save current or selected tabs in Chrome. Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts to change it.

More info

See the extension help in the options page for more detailed information about the options, and technical notes.

Statistics (Firefox)

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file/statistics/?last=90

Known Issues

• All browsers:
  • For security reasons, you cannot save pages hosted on https://chrome.google.com or https://addons.mozilla.org.
  • The last saved path cannot be remembered by default. To circumvent this limitation, disable the option "Save pages in background".
• Chrome/Opera:
  • You must enable the option "Allow access to file URLs" in the extension page to display the infobar when viewing a saved page, or to save a page stored on the filesystem.
    
• Firefox:
  • You cannot save selected tabs via the context menu because it is not possible to select multiple tabs.
• Edge:
  • The file name looks like "4e5a13fd-6638-4a37-a34b-a3c104ac66".

Troubleshooting unknown issues

Please follow these steps if you find an unknown issue:

• Reset SingleFile options.
• If resetting options did not fix the issue, try to disable all other extensions to see if there is a conflict.
• If there is a conflict then try to determine against which extension(s).
• Please report the issue with a short description describing how to reproduce the issue, Browser version, OS name and version here: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/issues.
