by t_wheeler, 4 years agoMight be one of the best extensions I've ever installed. Works great.
I'm using this to solve two problems:
1. "I looked this up once, where was that? What did I search for? Can I find it in my history?"
2. "I should re-read this for the next few weeks/months to reinforce what I learned."
3. "It would be great to capture the Reddit/HackerNews discussion thread along with this article."
Oh that's three. I lied. Oops. :)
My filename template is {visit-year-utc}/{visit-month-utc}/{datetime-iso}-{page-title}.html. This lets me easily identify pages from the previous month, which I then can review and update as needed. Generally I find things through Reddit or HackerNews, so I annotate the page with the post URL. That context comes in handy.
Would be nice to be able to save pages to a custom path in the filesystem. Tags would be a useful addition as well, though it's pretty easy to just do a search in the filesystem for relevant content.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18730145, 16 days agoEasily my most-used extension. I always like to save online data locally in case it succumbs to "link rot", and I used to archive things as PDFs...clunky, storage-hungry, filled with formatting issues. SingleFile is my new replacement for that. I LOVE it!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16847543, a month agoI use it everyday for a few years now. Useful in many ways to archive webpages in a fully portable HTML.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Connor B, a month agoAN ABSOLUTE FLIPPING LIFE SAVER!
I was trying to save a very long page that would take like 30 years to scroll through. I wanted to take a screenshot of it. I used Firefox's default screenshot system but it didn't work. I tried FireShot and the stupid corporate addon asked me to pay to take a flipping screenshot. Ctrl+S? Failed as well. So I installed this add-on, and IT LITERALLY SAVED THE WHOLE THING. ALL 12 MEGABYTES. This thing is INSANE, I'm definitely keeping this! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12552364, a month ago
