Firefox 3 can create .mht files, but (on my laptop at least) cannot open them. (IE can.)
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

There are two plugins for Firefox that let you open MHT files: UnMHT and MAF. I'm not sure which one is better or more current.

I tried UnMht, but couldn't get it to work, or at least couldn't get it to open existing .mht files. I'll try MAF and report on the results.

MAF seems to work!
You can find the version I loaded - MAF 0.9.0 (experimental) - at http://maf.mozdev.org/
Scroll down to "Download and install."
IMPORTANT: To install MAF 0.9.0 (experimental), right-click "Install MAF 0.9.0" and select "Open link in new tab" or "open link in new window." This is necessary because Firefox, by default, will prevent the install.
In the new tab or window, click on "Allow." Do not bypass the subsequent warnings.
Read the "Save Complete component" on the http://maf.mozdev.org/ page.
Close and reopen Firefox.
If you want to, click on "Tools/Mozilla Archive Format/Preferences/File Associations/Create an association for .mht and .mhtml associations."
Good luck!

NOTE that this is an experimental version and could cause problems. (Because I have GoBack on Win XP, I was willing to chance it.) Be sure to at least create a System Restore Point First.

I should have added that this is "try at your own risk." I have GoBack 4 for WinXP, so I was willing to try, but creating a System Restore Point first would be wise.
