Upgrade StorageBug: Item type "webpage" not shown in "add new item"
In both, the standalone as well as the Firefox add-on (4.0.29.xx, German), if I choose "add new item", the item type "Webseite" (webpage) is missing. I have to choose another item type and then I am able to change the item type in the right column of the Zotero window to the "webpage" type. This bug is persistent for quite a long time and the current as well as several previous versions of Zotero.
I did not manage to switch the UI to English for testing whether this also is the case in the English UI.

Saving web page to Zotero doesn't do what I want. I want the web page stored in a folder different from Zotero's default attachment folder, and I want the web page stored as mhtml (archive format). So I first store the web page from Firefox as mht, then put an item in Zotero and add the stored file as attachment.
Alternatively, you use Save Webpage to Zotero, then delete the default snapshot and add your own mht file.
Either of these methods will be faster than manually adding a Web Page item, because they will import at least the available metadata from the web site, rather than you having to manually type all of it.
