Mozilla Archive Format

Mozilla Archive Format

The Mozilla Archive Format is a web page archiving format provided by Firefox (via the an extension)[1] for saving one or more web pages together with its associated audio, video, and other related web resources in a single file.[2] It is not the same as the MHTML file format, which uses MIME encoding to store all the different page components as a single file. Rather, MAFF uses a ZIP file as the container.[3]

For alternative page-as-a-file file formats, see MHTML and Webarchive.
