Review for Mozilla Archive Format, with MHT and Faithful Save by aim2future
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
The MAFF format is fantastic, and is the single reason I only run firefox. I consider it shameful that that the MAFF format no longer will be supported. This implies that I will stay at maximum firefox 56, which I'm running now for the rest of my life.
I save all interesting pages with MAFF, and there simply are no alternatives. The MHT/MHTML format is tremendously ugly and I haven't even seen any tools to handle that format (I only count open source free software, I do not bother about any proprietary).
MAFF is simple and elegant. The only acceptable web archive format I've seen.
I currently have 18589 .maff files on my laptop.
Now if either firefox or the maff-extension would have been proprietary software, then it it would be like the biggest insult you can do against a person, where a format suddenly would stop working. Fortunately I have downloaded all versions of maff and its source code as well as essential firefox versions in source code so I will manage.
