Archiveit

Link rot is a real problem but manual archiving is not any solution either. This extension works in the background, listening to bookmark events and requests wayback machine to save those links.

Archiveit - Automatic Link Archiving Extension

Archiveit is a Firefox add-on that works in the background to archive bookmarked links to the archive.org. It helps prevent link rot by automatically archiving the links when they are bookmarked.
