IE does this automatically. Since I switched to Firefox, have been
having to do a manual workaround and this takes too much time. I'm
sure someone has come up with an extension that automatically saves
the URL in the html page we save of a webpage we've visited, but I've
googled and googled and haven't found anything. Lots of other nifty
extensions have shown up, though! <g>

Does anyone know of an extension that does this? Appreciate it.

You dont need an extension or anything

Firefox-->Preferences-->Privacy-->History
and set the number of days you want the sites to be remembered for
(you can clear history from here as well)

You can access the History from
Go-->History

You can add a Page to Bookmarks as well, which does the same thing, but
its not time delimited.

Yes. I do. Saved pages I then re-code slightly and put the source
URL at the top with code. Your way here is not useful for this
purpose. I can't come back months later and re-code the page.

What I'm still doing now is when I need to save a page, I have to then
go and open it in IE as it then will save the source URL right in the
code itself.

Sounds like I still need an extension to do this in FF, if such an
extension exists, of course. I've googled, but I'm hoping it's
because I'm not asking for the right thing, etc.

I'm not exactly sure of what you are asking for.
The History keeps track of the urls you have visited (automatically)
You can bookmark any page you wish

What I *think* the OP means is that, when you save a whole page to your
hard drive, there would be some sort of note embedded about that page's
original URL. I see what you mean, though -- it was a rather ambiguous
request!

Yes, that is it exactly.

Is there an extension that does this pls?

If you didn't know what I meant, and it was pretty straightforward if
you ever saved webpages in IE, it's because you've not used this
feature before. Granted, IE is not everyone's favourite and it isn't
mine either, but all issues of security aside, IE has a couple of
built-in features like saving the source URL within the HTML code in
any page saved onto an HDD, etc. I'm looking for an extension that
gives me that functionality in FF.

Thanks.

Hmm, okay, I see what you mean.
Workarounds include renaming the page when saved to reflect the url, but
that may be the solution you find as cumbersome

Some extensions that you may find useful in your quest
http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=522 Copy URL Plus 1.3
http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=28 Create Shortcut 0.3
http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=1214 File Title 0.1
"Save as" title as default like in IE

I didnt go thru the complete list of extensions, but those three
(especially the last one) may be of assistance
