I only use FIREFOX and will give the wayback machine a try. Firefox has never let me down.

Mozilla seem to have dropped Shumway development, so Flash is fading even faster. Shumway’s listed in the “project graveyard”: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Firefox%20Graveyard

I installed this and tried to view your test 404 page. I still see just the 404 page. No information at all about the Wayback Machine. I love your site and use it, but I will un-install this plugin and wait for it to be included in FireFox.

I think I’ll just wait for Firefox 49, but this is definitely an exciting feature to which I’m looking forward!

Is this Firefox browser different from going to the Wayback machine on the top of the internet archive site? If so, how different? Am I going to be able to view different pages on the same site which were unavailable on the Wayback Machine? I’m particularly interested in a genealogy site which was available from 1999 to 2013 (its changed servers in 2003), but it’s partially archived only until 2008. In this website there was a lot of pictures. There is a space for the pictures but most of them are not there. [the picture icon is broken] I used to be able to find something on the database, but no longer, just the ‘gallery’.

And, what is this?

‘This page is available on the web!” WHERE?
“Help make the Wayback Machine more complete!
“Save this url in the Wayback Machine” DOES’NT SAVE

If you use Chrome, you could vote for https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=637582 by “starring” it.

This is a brilliant idea! A real ‘Lazarus’ plugin! Downloaded and installed. Long live all the dead web pages!

I’m a dmoz editor. We have the Wayback Machine as a resource for checking dead links but it will be even nicer to have it right on the browser. Luckily I use Firefox when I’m working at the directory. I hope a Chrome tool comes out soon too.

I use a simple Bookmarklet to open a page in the archive.
(works in Pale Moon, an offshoot of Firefox; should work in most browsers)
Unless you are redirected to another page because of the 404, it works well.
Otherwise you have to copy and paste at the website.
