When saving Pages on Facebook and Other Sites the Downloader is Not saving everything I can see. This feature used to save All comments under Posts ( Some had 600+ ) As long as I opened them and could See them. Now while Downloading it closes them and only shows 4 or 5

Are you using Save Page As? I'm not sure Firefox saves the page in its final state, after changes are made dynamically as a result of your scrolling down. I think Firefox might only be saving what was in the page when it initially loaded. Is that what you're seeing?

If you are using a different feature for saving, the above might not be applicable.

You might also consider printing to PDF to save a more complete record. If you don't have a PDF printer set up (free ones include PrimoPDF and PDF Creator) you can use this add-on: Print pages to Pdf.

hello stevenhaith, i've never found the page download to be very reliable. you could use an extension like ScrapBook in order to archive web pages instead...
