OVERVIEW
Save Page WE provides a simple facility to save a web page (as currently displayed) as a single HTML file that can be opened in any browser. The saved page is a highly accurate representation of the original page. Multiple pages can be saved either by selecting multiple tabs or by loading a list of page URLs.
Save Page WE is implemented using the WebExtensions API and is available for both Firefox and Chrome with identical functions and user interfaces.
If used with Print Edit WE, Save Page WE now requires Print Edit WE 26.1 or later for full compatibility.
OPTIONS PAGE
The Save Page WE Options page can be accessed as follows:
• Firefox - Right-click on the toolbar button, select Manage Extension, click on the ••• button and select Options.
• Chrome - Right-click on the toolbar button, and then select Options.
TOOLBAR BUTTON
After installation of Save Page WE, there will be a new blue 'floppy-disk' button on the main toolbar.
To save the web pages in all of the currently selected tabs file, just click on the Save Page WE toolbar button.
There is are options to set the button action as:
• Save Selected Tabs (Basic, Standard or Custom Items)
• Save Listed URLs (Basic, Standard or Custom Items)
There is an option to prompt the user to enter comments when saving the file.
There is an option to use the old save method, as used in Version 18.0 or earlier.
There is an option to always show the 'Save As' dialog box when saving a page. If this option is not enabled, the 'Save As' dialog box will only be shown if the Firefox 'Downloads' option is set to 'Always ask you where to save files'.
There are options to specify the format of the saved file name. See the 'Saved File Name' section below.
By default the saved HTML file will have a '.html' extension.

Comments and Reviews
It seems licensed as GPL but where is the source code of this extension and who is its developer? He/she did not mention his/her name anywhere. Why?
Dave. Source code is in the extension (xpi) file, just like with all other firefox extensions, you can edit it directly, just unpack repack like ordinary zip file via 7-zip. Also need to enable unsigned addons in about:config (set to false xpinstall.signatures.required) in Firefox, but for that need Developer Edition or Nightly or Unbranded Firefox.

That's totally right, I asked to update the listing here to reflect that it is indeed opensource.
