- Rated 4 out of 5by Michael, 5 years agoWorks great, except for it thinking that a working site is down and asking if I want to see an archived version. When this happens I have to spam the back button until it stops thinking the page is down.
Fixing this bug and/or preferably adding an option to disable automatic missing page recognition would make this a 5/5. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14280591, 5 years agoThis addon is good for saving webpages that might go down in the future. However... it keeps redirecting to the "You want to see an archived version of this page?" over-zealously for any page. Especially if you use the back button it will recursively keep redirecting to the extension's page.
Stop this right now or I will just report and uninstall this addon! - Rated 3 out of 5by Ward Muylaert, 5 years agoLike others have mentioned, I wish I could turn off its automatic dead page detection. The reason is simple, it seems to be overly zealous and/or outright wrong in what it considers a dead page. If I come across a dead page, I'd rather manually go and click the icon in the addon bar in order to get a recent version.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14565419, 5 years agoI find it really, really annoying that I cannot block it's popup for some sites. For example, Reddit is down right now. Every time I reload, it pops its obnoxious "you wanna see an archived version of this page?" thing. No matter how many times I dismiss the damned thing. I don't want an archived version of Reddit. Please give us a way to black list sites from this popup!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15249045, 5 years agoA great addon but it sometimes thinks that a non 404 page is a 404 page, which is very annoying

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15184521, 5 years agoIt redirects many pages that are working just fine to the "Page not available screen", and there isn't a way to disable that part of the addon. I really like the ability to open a page in the wayback machine, but this addon gets in the way of my regular browsing too much.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Danny Lin, 5 years agoThe current version has an issue that it frequently consider a working web page as 404 and redirects it to addon page, especially when URL change or go back/forward, which is very annoying.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Amir Ali Akbari, 6 years agoVery helpful extension, but it detects many working pages as 404, especially on browser reload. An option to disable automatic Wayback machine popup is really needed.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14966376, 6 years agoI love Archive.org, truly a priceless resource. Unfortunately the last few months I've been unable to use the "Save Page Now" function. It just goes to a blank page when I try. It seems like a problem through the core site, since when I actually go to Archive.org/*site and hit "save a copy" it doesn't work either.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14106106, 6 years agoI will consider changing the rating, once the major bug will be fixed, which causes this plugin to pop up on working websites.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Savannah, 6 years ago(edited March 2022) The recent update is great. Being able to automatically archive all the pages I visit gives me a lot of peace of mind.
