>From the "chapter page" right click on the chapter text and click "save
as"  should automatically save the chapter with the current chapter
number, such as --  'story name_12.htm" (or whatever that chapter number
happens to  be) -- that isn't happening.  It wants to save it as 'story
name.htm'.  The stories and chapters are setup on the sites to make this
happen automatically.  Ubunta/firefox about 2 weeks ago stopped that
from happening.  I would guess that it was broken during an update of
either ubuntu or firefox.


I have been doing this same thing over the past 10 years or so -- always
the same.
