Sometimes, when I try to save a web page as type: "Web Page, complete", firefox displays download error dialog box stating a file "could not be saved, because the source file could not be read." I don't have a problem with firefox couldn't save that file, but I have a problem with firefox displaying that dialog box, because I have to click OK everytime. Is there a way to disable that annoying dialog box?

That is usually caused by a permission problem with the folder or file(s) that Firefox wants to save to your hard drive.

Are you saving to a network location or to a local file?

Do you have security software that might kick in and prevent Firefox from saving files?

I modified the host file mainly to block ads. But that's not the problem. It's OK for me for firefox to not saving some parts of a page (ads usually within a frame). It's my intention to NOT saving those files. I just want to save the main content of a webpage.

But I'm having a problem with firefox displaying the dialog boxes.
