Hi folks
I don't have Internet connection at home, so I use Internet only at coffeeInt and at work, therefore FFP is very useful for me. Sometimes I need to save a page, then I clickright and "save page as" - "web page complete". Then during a few seconds or just a fraction of second ffp stay freez. I know is short time, but that is upset.
Is there someway to avoid it?

It's probably writing data to your drive at the point, which, with some drives, will cause some of your portable apps like Firefox to pause. It can be alleviated by buying a faster drive, but it's nothing to worry about.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
As I said before, I use "save page as- web page complete", but sometimes and with some webs like NYtimes.c some pictures don't download, then when I see the pages offline I found only text. That issue is cause my web browser or cause copyrights?
It's more technical. Some sites code their sites so that the Save As functions of browsers don't work right. Some do this on purpose, some accidentally. Firefox doesn't save most images that are CSS properties, for instance. Either way, it's not an issue specific to the portable version.

There's a "PDFDownload" extension for FF (plus something for Chrome and Safari and (ug) IE).
One thing it can do is make a pdf of the web page in your browser. Instead of you saving the "whole page" as htm, it creates a PDF of the page you are at and then you download the pdf file. Later you can use any pdf reader to view it.

I've only used it a few times but it was fast and very accurate (it was better than my otherwise favorite PDFCreator with the NYTimes front page, for example). I suspect it will get whatever picture you see in your browser.
You have to click the prompts, and if you you use script blocking like NoScript, of course you'll have to let it through. (I read some "this thing doesn't work" comments and suspect that's their problem)
No accounts or passwords needed so far, but having a 3rd party convert your pages to pdf may not be what you want. Be sure to read all the fine print.

If you can get your work IT guys interested, PDFCreator is free and okay for commercial work.

It installs on windows machines like it was just another printer, but it makes a pdf instead. Of course, like a printed sheet, the web hyperlinks are no longer clickable on these pdfs. One thing for sure, though, is that a picture you see in a pdf made with this will be viewable on or off the net; it's not linking to the internet when you use it like your browser tries to.
Your work might like the idea anyway, just to save some paper.
