  That’s not important. What’s important is, does it still work in the most recent version of Firefox? (I’m on mobile rn so can’t check for myself.)

  So? The extension is still being developed[1] but they haven't uploaded newer versions for Firefox recently. Check the Github Issues ([2],[3]) [1] https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback-machine-webextension https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback-machine-webextens... [2] https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback-machine-webextension/issues/689 https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback-machine-webextens...

    > still being developed This does not help anyone since you can’t sideload an unreleased extension in Firefox anymore (except by manually installing it every time you start Firefox, via a “Debug Add-ons” menu).

      Wow did not know it’s that hard to sideload. Essentially not possible practically speaking if you want to do it all the time. That sucks.

That extension asks for permissions for all tabs, and for all data on all websites. Try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/one-click-wayback/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/one-click-way... which asks for no permissions. A bookmarklet could work, too.

  I've been using a bookmarklet in Mobile Safari. Looking for its origin just now, it looks like archive.org uses a Wikipedia page as a reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_the_Wayback_Machine#JavaScript_bookmarklet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_the_Wayback_Machine...
