Hello henke. Like you, I couldn't view any of my downloaded html files. When I tapped on any one of them, via the "Storage" app, I got the same error: "no activity found". Then when I tried same via the "ES File Explorer", I got the error: "Web page not available".

HOWEVER, a little further playing around, and I finally got the html files to load via "ES File Explorer". For some reason, it can't handle space characters, thus fails to load the file. So just rename those files by getting rid of the spacebar characters (replace them with hyphens if you like). There might be other non-ASCII characters that are problematic, I just haven't tested that out yet. At any rate, just be aware that the failure to load a saved html file may be the file name, and to change it accordingly.

But if worse comes to worse, one can always use an html-to-pdf convertor. Oh, and don't use the "Storage" app, use the ES File Explorer instead. (Not sure why "Storage" still fails to load properly named html files.)

Here is a free utility that converts various formats such as html and text, to pdf. And it works just fine:
