Add-on summary

Scrapyard is a bookmarking extension where you can store and organize bookmarks, page fragments, complete HTML pages and PDF documents, or take notes. It is intended as a modern alternative to the legacy ScrapBook add-on. All archived content is accessible on the Android platform if shared through a cloud service. Scrapyard also supports the import of RDF archives of the legacy ScrapBook. See the online help for a more detailed description of the add-on features.

Key Features

  • Friendly user experience close to the original ScrapBook.
  • Firefox bookmark integration.
  • Multiple bookmark shelves (collections).
  • It is possible to attach text notes to any bookmark or archived page.
  • Cloud bookmarking.
  • TODO functionality.
  • Bookmarks synchronized through Dropbox or OneDrive are available on Android mobile devices through the Scrapyard Android application.
  • iShell integration.
Storage Modes

The add-on has two storage modes which could be selected through the "Content location" dropdown list on the main settings page:

  • Filesystem - in this mode, all archived content is stored inside a user-specified directory in the filesystem. This mode requires the installation of the Scrapyard backend application.
  • Browser internal storage - in this mode, all archived content is stored inside the browser profile. Although the installation of the backend application is not required, some advanced features are not available without it due to restrictions imposed by the WebExtensions API.
Please, report bugs here.

Q&A

Q: If I choose the "Browser internal storage" mode, how can I physically access the archived content?

User reviews

I am very fond of using Scrapyard but in the last days the toolbar is not showing and Ctrl Alt T does not work, how to fix this inconvenient? Gerry.

It honestly deserves to have 5 perfect stars, there are 0 reasons otherwise. It works perfectly and allows me to save offline copies of sites that may not be available later, it's just great! On KDE Neon, with the default Firefox for some reason even if I install the backend, Scrapyard doesn't recognize it, but I "solved" it by choosing "Browser Internal Storage" in Settings > Content > Content Location, although this in theory limits the addon usability.
