In a land without WiFi, those with offline content would be king [mi]
After many a year without, I just got a new laptop. The first thing installed was Firefox with all my favorite extensions but I'm still using IE for 'offline browsing' where WiFi is not availble.
I'm noticing that sites like DailyKos, Gizmodo, Wonkette and Defamer don't seem to like being viewed offline. The synchronization takes place but then when I try to view them, they're grayed out and won't come up in the browser.
Is there an extension/app that will allow me to synch online content with Firefox? If not, anyone else having this problem and know of a fix?

Response by poster: Thanks mkultra. I've installed it and just started to play. No scheduling but I think I can survive. It seems very fast, much faster than IE's synchronization slog.
