Firefox is not saving web pages
Hello,
I am on a Ubuntu machine and for some reason, Firefox is not saving web pages anymore. I have the following addons:
Adblock Plus DoNotTrackPlus DownloadHelper DownThemAll NoScript
I disabled all the addons above but I am still unable to save a web page.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Is it with particular pages or is it happening generally?? Pages that have resources from other sites may take longer to save. You can try to Work Offline via the File (Alt + F) menu and then try to save the page.
If the problem persists Please check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is okay, you can then Reset Firefox on the old (previous) profile via Help > Troubleshooting Information.

Does it help if you disable the download related extensions?
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thank you all for the replies. Resetting Firefox solved the problem.
