[Sugar-devel] Keep offline for Browse (offline bookmarks)

[Lucian Branescu]

This patch won't save video, at least not flash video. In fact, it
does exactly what Firefox's 'save complete web page' functionality
does.

It may save video in html5 <video> tags for offline use, but I haven't
tested that. If it works with Firefox, it should work with this as
well.
