License and copyrights

The MAF extension for Firefox has been created by Christopher Ottley and is now actively developed by Paolo Amadini. MAF also includes code from the Save Complete extension, created by Stephen Augenstein. MAF is available under the GNU General Public License, version 2. The Save Complete source code is also available under a MPL 1.1+, GPL 2.0+, LGPL 2.1+ disjunctive tri-license.

What's new in the latest version?

MAF 0.18.1 has the following user-visible improvements over MAF 0.17.2:

• Greatly improved fidelity of the archived pages, thanks to a new save component that takes a faithful snapshot of the page exactly as it appears at the time it is saved. The new component is activated automatically if the Save Complete component was selected in a previous version. See the related documentation for details.
• MAFF archives whose content used international characters in file names are now opened correctly.

MAF 0.18.1 has the following known issues:

• In order to open MHTML files when the IE Tab extension is installed, the filter /^file:\/\/\/.*\.(mht|mhtml)$/ must be disabled from the IE Tab options.
• The Download Sort extension has a known incompatibility with MAF. The conflict cannot be resolved without proper modifications to both extensions, and Download Sort is not actively maintained at this time.
• The integrated Save Complete extension cannot always save pages with dynamic contents correctly.
• When saving a page in an archive fails, retrying the download from the Downloads window does not achieve the expected result.
• Opening very long documents contained inside MHTML files may cause the browser to stop responding temporarily.
• With versions of Firefox prior to 3.5.3, web archive files must have a lowercase file name extension in order to be opened.
