The Mozilla Archive Format (MAFF) is a web page archiving format provided by Firefox through an extension.[5] 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.[6] Unlike MHTML, which uses MIME encoding within a single HTML file, MAFF creates a ZIP container file.[7]
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.[2]
