I am building an add-on for an application. The clients are paying to view some webpages and download some files out of it. They want to automate this downloading process by add-on. So instead of selecting "Save Page as" and waiting for the download's completion, they can click the add-on and forget the process. The problem is, the webpage is providing some cookies to the browser. So the best way is File-> "Save Page As" . I want to do it through the add-on. Is there any firefox-javascript way for this?. I used nsiDownloader. But it saves only html, not the pictures,etc. Can anybody guide me in this issue?

EDIT: Hi, This is the code which did the trick, thanks to sai prasad

var dir =Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"]  
       .createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile); 
dir.initWithPath("C:\filename");
var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"]  
       .createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);  
file.initWithPath("C:\filename.html");  
var wbp = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/embedding/browser/nsWebBrowserPersist;1']  
          .createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIWebBrowserPersist);  
alert("going to save");
wbp.saveDocument(content.document, file,dir, null, null, null);  
alert("saved");

EDIT: But, still some webpages are not saved exactly as "Save Page as". Those saved pages are not rendered like original pages, they are look like some html example.

Since you mention that File->"Save Page As" is working as expected, I tried looking through the source code (chrome://browser/content/browser.xul) and found this:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIWebBrowserPersist#saveDocument()

Make sure that you shall call this function only after the webpage is completely loaded (not DOMContentLoaded)!!
