posted 7 years agoAs the CAVEATS mentioned: "Allow access to file URLs", which allows the browser to open and view a local archive page directly, is currently not supported in Firefox.
This is impossible with pure Firefox addon. (The feature is available in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers). We may consider making another accessory application that helps opening such files via double clicking someday, but it'd make the installation more complicated and may not be able to support all platforms of Firefox.
UPDATED (2017/11/27):
There are some techniques to open archives using the built-in Firefox JAR protocol. See https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook/wiki/View for more detail.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alanyyab, 10 days agoVery useful. 2 Feature suggestions: Dark mode UI support for the sidebar. And an easier way to highlight text, possibly similar to Raindrop extension where after highlighting text a popup right above the text shows up with color options.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18834571, 2 months agoУдалось в первозданном виде сохранить страницу, которую не сохранял ни один браузер. Автору большое спасибо и успехов в работе!
- Rated 1 out of 5by ehobby, 4 months agoUnable to get this to work on Firefox 133 and Fedora 40. Installed the backend and the browser extension. Could not find any configuration for the backend that would work. There needs to be a more specific set of instructions written by someone who has successfully installed this extension in Linux, unless this only works in Windows. Perhaps this is a great extension but it is worthless if it cannot be installed.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18235051, a year agoI needed to backup a website that used form login, making a simple scraping not possible. This extension worked like a charm after figuring out some of the configuration options.

Useless.
I miss the old Scrapbook Extension.Developer response
posted 2 years agoPlease consult the documentation about different approaches to capture a page: https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook/wiki/Basic. Raise an issue with more details (e.g. a screenshot illustrating where you are asked for backend server configuration) in the source repository if you still don't get it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alexander, 3 years ago
