Resurrect-pages on Mozilla Addons
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.
PLANNED
- Complete rewrite to make addon restartless
- Make Bing search to show directly cached page
