How do I view a saved web page?

I saved a web page by clicking on File; Save Page as; and then saving it as a web page. This created a folder, which contained a large number of files, but when I try to open the folder, it simply opens the folder in Windows Explorer, and does not bring the saved web page up in Firefox.

Am I doing something wrong?

I installed the "Read it Later" plugin and it seems to work, but I would prefer to be able to save and view the web page directly with Firefox.

I do not use Windows 7 or the "Read it later" plugin, but will add a general comment.

The web page you save is likely to consist of a folder of many files and a main file with the extension .htm or html. the .htm or .html file is the one you need to open with a browser. I imagine if firefox is your default browser such files will show as a firefox icon. I also imagine that it is possible to set Windows 7 to specifically show file extensions, that is to show the .htm or .html part of the filename.
