O tym rozszerzeniu

Kiwix is an offline wikipedia viewer. See the official site: https://kiwix.org/

You need to download an archive (ZIM file) from https://download.kiwix.org/zim/, store it in on your device, and manually select it after starting the extension.

You can search among the article titles, and read any of them without any Internet access.
All the content of wikipedia is inside your device (including the images).
It might also works with other content in the OpenZIM format: https://wiki.openzim.org/wiki/OpenZIM , but has been only tested on the wikipedia and stackexchange ones.

If your Internet access is expensive/rare/slow/unreliable/watched/censored, you still can browse this amazing amount of knowledge and culture.

Firefox unfortunately disables ServiceWorkers in WebExtensions. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1344561
This prevents us from using the standard way to read ZIM content.

There are 2 workarounds:

the recommended way is to use ServiceWorker mode through a Progressive Webapp (which requires a one-time Internet access). It's automatically done when you choose the ServiceWorker mode
use the legacy jQuery mode (which does not work on all contents)
