Save URL to Wayback Machine Firefox

Save URL to Wayback Machine

This Firefox addon will add a new item to the context menu and the toolbar menu, allowing you to save the current webpage to the Wayback Machine or archive.today.

Features & Capabilities

Saving a URL to the Wayback Machine on archive.org can be tedious at times. You have to copy the current URL, open up a new tab, go to archive.org/web, and then paste in the URL in order to save it. This extension cuts out all of those tasks and allow you to simply save the current URL through a toolbar button and context menu item to automatically open the Wayback Machine and save the current URL.
