But you can.  Save the file as you normally would, open Firefox -
Edit - Preferences - Content 
  and disable java-script

view the saved page

reverse the 'disable java-script' steps.

and you are back to normal.

 True, a single problem was presented and a solution posed.

 If you say so.
 
  Nor is it the only prescription for solving the OP's problem.
 
 Again, 'a solution was posed', not THE solution.  There may exist a
 thousand thousand solutions.
 

 It's also true that simply using the menu is much simpler than digging 
 into the preferences to disable JavaScript.

and again, the method of disabling java-script was not presented.
Simplicity is arguable, but not so in the case of someone not aware of
the existance and location of the necessary files.  I did not propose
editing the rc/conf files by hand.

Why are you trying to read something into a simple statement?

turn off 'java-script' in your browser.

no

 one can later open with Mozilla, when Off-Line

yes, but different

 opening

That's probably too heavy-handed for most people most of the time. 
Without JavaScript enabled, many Web sites are quite hobbled.

The JavaScript code usually just intercepts keyboard equivalents 
(something I find onerous, to be sure), but it cannot alter the actions 
associated with menu commands, so by simply selecting the Save Page 
As... command from the File menu the original functionality is still 
available.

Like it or not, the Web as we now know it requires JavaScript-enabled 
browsers. Without JavaScript, we're back to the Web as it was 
experienced in the '90s and early 2000s. Much is still possible, but 
much is a not and what remains is a lot more clunky.

true, but his question was to observe 'saved' pages w/o going off-line
and disabling java-script will accomplish that to 'observe that saved
page'.

I was not proposing doing w/o java-script.  You read that into it.
