[Slogger] Can't find local saved files

It's not a no-brainer - it's a confusing way which in which the log file 
and saved pages interact (or fail to).  When you changed the save dir, 
the log file still pointing to the old location.  There are several ways 
to deal with this, none very obvious... If you go to Edit Profile->Log 
File->Content tab, you could look edit the html code that's there, and 
replace the link (<a href="___") to point to where they are being saved 
now. (it probably has something $sloggerDir now.).  Or you could change 
the value of $sloggerDir with "about:config".  I need to make this easier...
