Mozilla Archive Format is a popular Firefox and SeaMonkey add-on which enhances the way web pages are saved on your computer.
The MAFF format is very powerful when you combine it with the built-in browser support for the Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora media formats in web pages: you can save everything in a single file. It also lets you save more than one tab in a single MAFF file.
Furthermore, Mozilla Archive Format enables you to convert your already saved pages to the format of your choice. You can use this feature to save disk space, or even to convert MAFF to the other formats, should you ever decide to go back.
