"File -> Save Page As" does not save images fro
When you use File -> Save Page As, it doesn't save the images that are included by the CSS.

Yes the bug has been <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126309">reported</a> in part already, although the issue isn't just with images, it's with CSS processing in the component responsible for saving pages - it was never written. I created the extension as a starting point to improve my understanding of how stylesheets can be processed easily, and because my C++ skills at the time were pretty terrible. I would like to fix it eventually, but the extension will work in Firefox 3 if I can't get the code fix into that version.

Firefox bugs and XUL extension Vs. C++ core development

Thanks but I think this topic is more related to the CSS not fixed up by webbrowserpersist ("save page as, complete" omits background images) bug. But you're right, I read the comments and it seems the difficulty is to properly parse CSS files. IMHO I think the existing CSS parser should be used instead of using tricks like regular expressions to extract URIs.

Well these bugs were reported in 2001 and 2002 and won't make it to Firefox 3 release as long as developers are not working on it. No one is currently assigned to fix them and they're not planned in any milestone. However I think fixing them using an extension is a great idea as I find extension release process far much smoother and flexible. You don't have to dig into Firefox C++ core to fix bugs, you can just implement your own features XUL-style.
