Use DownloadThemall to download complete webpages?
Suppose there is a webpage which contains links to other webpages which contains images. I would like to download those linked webpages completely (i.e. including those images).
In the webpage, there are many links, so I try to use DownloadThemAll to do the job, instead of manually clicking each link and save the webpages one by one. Firstly I select the links, and then right click to choose "DownloadThemAll! Selection ...", which invokes DownloadThemAll to download those linked webpages. But the downloaded webpages are html only, without the images.
If I just download a complete webpage in Firefox, I can hit Ctrl-s, and choose "Web page, complete". The downloaded webpage has not only the html file, but also a directory containing the images and other resources used in the webpage.
But since now I have many webpages to download and I want to download them completely, I wonder how I can do that? Can DownloadThemAll do that, or can some other addon do that?
Thanks!

I suggest trying something like HTTrack or another offline browser for this kind of project.

The problem is that it first requires some authentification from my school, and then go through a few webpages to get to the page with the links. There seems no direct link to the webpage (everything will expire after a while). I don't know how to access and download that linked pages outside firefox.

Oh, if HTTrack isn't able to impersonate Firefox and join your session (i.e., use the cookies the server has set in Firefox), then you will probably need an extension.

I am not familiar with HTTrack. How can It impersonate Firefox and join my current firefox session? Do you have something for me to read to learn?
In firefox, I can use mouse to select some (not all) of the links in the webpage to download with DownloadThemAll. Can I also specify some (not all) of the links in HTTrack?
Thanks.

I haven't used this program for a few years, so unfortunately I don't remember what it can do in that regard.
