Hi!

So most (all?) of the time it seems to fail to automatically submit pages to be archived.

But today I noticed that it also fails to open archived pages. When I clicked on the items in the addon's menu the URL opened was truncated to have the original website's TLD and not the actual URL of the page. So of course it didn't load what it was supposed to.
(The menu still shows to proper url for web archive.)

So I guess this fate is typical for free addons. The question is did anyone pick up the development to make the addon functional again?

I'm not aware of any functional forks. The best alternative I've found is the wayback machine official addon, that supports archiving every page you visit.

Some pages are still automatically archived, but some aren't.
No idea what makes the difference. The only pattern I see is domain specificity. Either all, or none from a domain is archived.
Without any errors provided by the addon it's impossible to tell.

I checked out one website which Archiveror consistently fails to submit to web archive.
I got some errors on the console, so I exported it
console-export-2023-1-5_12-49-35.txt
Anyone have an idea why it's happening?

I think I found a replacement: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/archive-webextension/

Once installed, just go in to the extension preferences and uncomment out the archive.today line if you want that one too. You can also manually add more services.

@Darkle Hm. I don't see signs of the main feature of archiveror, automatically archiving bookmarked urls.
