You could do that with the Firefox extension "SinleFile" [1]. It main purpose is to save a full webpage as one single html file with images etc encoded in the html file (no more messy html file + folder cluttering), very neat. There is also a variant that is a html/zip hybrid called SingleFileZ [2] that gets smaller saved file.

In the settings you could set so that sites you bookmark is saved and also link the bookmark to the saved file locally if you want to.

That looks great! Firefox should have something like SingleFile built-in. Instead of just copying features from Chrome, they should lead the innovation and add useful features like this.

I used this in like IE5 (I think) with MHTML. Though after looking a little, looks like SingleFile is more featureful (gets lazy loaded stuff etc)

I've been using SingleFile for a couple of months now, to auto-save every page I visit, and it works well. It's exactly as simple as it needs to be. My only real complaints are that it can be slow on large pages and that it pollutes your download history (every auto-save shows up as a download), both of which I suspect are due to limitations in the extension API.
