THIS BRANCH IS STALLED TO PERMIT PEOPLE USING OLDER VERSION OF FIREFOX TO STILL USE THIS ADDON, SEE RELEASES.

Documentation

Dead pages, broken links, the scourge of the internet. Powerhouse sites like Slashdot and Digg can bring a server to its knees. What do we do when a page is dead but we still want to see it? Call in the clerics, and perform a resurrection ceremony! Or, the easier route, use this extension.

Features

• Searches through seven page cache/mirrors:
  • Google Cache (plus text-only version)
  • The Internet Archive
  • Bing Cache
  • WebCite
  • archive.is
  • Down for everyone?

Of course, not every page can be in every cache. When a page is unavailable, you'll generally see that site's error page. Hit back and try another one!

• Accessible:
  • In the context (right-click) menu for the current page, and for all links.
  • In the toolbar, just customize it to drag the button in.
  • With the keyboard: press Ctrl-Shift-U
  • Directly in the net error ("Firefox could not load this page...") page.
