About this extension

Web Archives is a Firefox extension which helps you to find archived and cached versions of web pages. Searches can be initiated from the right-click context menu, the browser toolbar, or the address bar in case of a server error.

The continued development of Web Archives is made possible thanks to the support of awesome backers. If you'd like to join them, please consider contributing with Patreon, PayPal or Bitcoin.

A diverse set of archive and cache sources are supported, which can be toggled and reordered from the extension's options. Visit the wiki for the full list of supported search engines.

The URL you select during a search is sent to the requested third-party service, such as the Wayback Machine. Visit the extension's privacy policy for more information.

Relevant Firefox bugs:

The context menu API is not available on Android, use the extension from the toolbar instead (1363016)
The search results are opened as regular tabs on Android, private tabs are not supported (1372178)

The extension is also available for Chrome and Edge.
