Internal configuration settings - Lootyhoof/mozarchiver GitHub Wiki

These configuration settings are not available from the options dialog. To access them, put about:config into the browser's address bar and press the Enter key. Type mza into the filter field; that will show only the settings that apply to MozArchiver. Normally don't change the settings unless the reason is clearly understood. Non-default settings may adversely impact functionality or performance.

extensions.mza.advanced.datafoldersuffixes This option influences the Saved Pages Conversion Wizard when selecting which files to convert.

Complete web pages are recognized because they have an associated support folder, with the same base name as the main file and a different suffix, for example Page.html and Page_files.

This option displays a comma-separated list of the recognized suffixes. An additional suffix that depends on the current browser language may also be recognized without it being explicitly listed in this option.

extensions.mza.advanced.maff.compression Controls the compression level used when saving files in a MAFF archive.

  1. dynamic (default) Use maximum compression for all files, but do not re-compress media files.

  2. best Use maximum compression for all files.

  3. none Store all the files uncompressed.

extensions.mza.advanced.maff.extendedmetadata With this preference enabled, history, text zoom, and scroll position is saved for each page. At present this additional information is ignored when the archive is opened.

extensions.mza.advanced.maff.ignorecharacterset When this setting is enabled, the character set specified for pages saved inside MAFF archives is ignored. Enabling this option may be useful for troubleshooting problems with internationalization. This option will cause saved pages to be displayed incorrectly in most cases.

extensions.mza.advanced.maff.usejarprotocol If this preference is enabled, when you open a MAFF archive its contents will be accessed directly using the "jar:" protocol, without being extracted.

However, if you enable this option, the archive files you open will be locked, and you will be unable to move, rename or delete them until the browser is closed.

extensions.mza.advanced.mhtml.usemhtmlextension If this option is selected, and you do not type a file extension in the Save As dialog box, or file extensions are hidden, the complete .mhtml extension will be appended to the file name of MHTML archives, instead of the more common .mht extension.

extensions.mza.advanced.temp.clearonexit This option is enabled by default. If disabled, the contents of the temporary directory are preserved after the browser exits, and must be emptied manually.

extensions.mza.advanced.temp.folder Use this preference to choose the location of the temporary files required to open and save the web archives. The contents of this folder will be lost if extensions.mza.advanced.temp.clearonexit is true.

If not specified, this location defaults to a sub-folder of the system temporary folder, which is different for every browser profile.

If customized, the absolute path to the specified location is remembered, regardless of the system temporary folder path.
