The Mozilla Archive Format (MAFF) is a web page archiving format provided by Firefox through an extension. It is used to save one or more web pages together with their associated audio, video, and other related web resources to a single file. Unlike MHTML, which uses MIME encoding within a single HTML file, MAFF compresses the page into a ZIP container file.
For alternative "page-as-a-file" formats, see MHTML (Created for Internet Explorer, compatible with many browsers), Webarchive (Safari), and Chrome's SingleFile extension (which uses the data URI scheme to package everything in a single .html file).
Format Licensing
MAFF is an open file format. The file format specification is published.
