You should save html versions or install gorg. http://gentoo.neysx.org/mystuff/gorg/gorg.xml This is not a bug.
To clarify previous comment -- although firefox knows that that page is (despite the "extension" in the URL) HTML, it saves it with the .xml suffix. Upon loading, it tries to use a XML-rendering mode which is not what you want. A simple workaround should be to save the page to a file with .html extension.
