    <blockquote> <p>I have thousands of html files... </p> </blockquote> <p>Do you actually have these files on-hand, or are they online? </p> <blockquote> <p>...and need to save each of them as txt...</p> </blockquote> <p>Any text editor should be able to save the data within (i.e. why use FireFox), and I think a straight rename of .htm or .html to .txt. will work (at least on any Windows system). Or do you mean: save just the <em>displayed</em> text of the HTML file?</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> </p> <p>First, start off with <a href="http://vba-corner.livejournal.com/4623.html" rel="nofollow">this link</a>, which has a good explanation of how to get started with <strong>shdocvw</strong>, which you will need to do this. Once you have the reference set up, using the functions</p> <pre><code>Function GetNewIE() As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer </code></pre> <p>and </p> <pre><code>Function LoadWebPage(i_IE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer, i_URL As String) As Boolean </code></pre> <p>from the link (just copy into your project as described in the link) to load your individual html files, using a loop to get through each file. (Excel would be good for this, because you can put your list of files into the cells, and cycle through each cell to retrieve.) I have never done something like this with so many files, so I cannot guarantee this will work, unfortunately...</p> <pre><code>Dim IE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer Dim lRow as Long 'Long in case you have a LOT of files Dim iFNum As Integer Dim sFilePath As String Set IE = GetNewIE For lRow = 1 To 5000 Step 1 ' Assuming you have 5,000 html files, so 5,000 rows with the paths to each sFilePath = ActiveSheet.Range("A" &amp; lRow).Value ' This should also include the filepath. i.e. "C:\dir\..." If LoadWebPage(IE, sFilePath) Then iFNum = FreeFile(lRow) Open sFilePath &amp; ".txt" For Output As iFNum Write #iFNum, IE.Document.InnerText Close #iFNum End If Next lRow </code></pre>

    2. CO2. I want to use Firefox to do the html strip job because Firefox can do this job well. Yes, I want to save just the displayed text of the html file, without any html tags/css/javascript in it.

    3. COI have good experience with this in **IE** using VBA. Are you open to using VBA? (I believe only small changes would be needed to make that work with FF.)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
