It seems that ubuntu(16.04LTS)'s file manager, whose name I don't know, will
stupidly force users to save file with a specific file extension. For
example,
when I save the html page from `https://www.yahoo.com', I only got two
options
in the file manager (at the lower right corner):
    "Webpage, Complete" and
    "Webpage, HTML only",
By default, I get `Yahoo.html' as the filename to save. I can change the
`Yahoo.html' to any name like `this-is-yahoo.html'. But I CANNOT save it to
something like `Yahoo.webpage' because the file manager will automatically
add a "html" file extension for me, thus making it `Yahoo.webpaeg.html'
eventually.


I don't think that is the file manager (Nautilus), I think it is the
browser. Which browser are you using? Using Firefox (on Ubuntu 16.10) I see
more than two options and do not get the forced extension.
