About Outbox for Tumblr
Outbox for Tumblr is an open source browser extension that automatically saves outgoing Tumblr asks and answers, creating a record of questions sent from a blog. Saving happens passively, and the saved items can be opened from the extension's toolbar icon. It is available for Firefox and through the Chrome Web Store.
The extension saves asks sent from the Tumblr dashboard and from *.tumblr.com/ask pages, as well as answers sent privately. It stores up to 512 items at a time, and when that limit is reached, the oldest items are deleted automatically as new ones are saved. On Firefox, asks sent from blogs with custom domains can also be saved, but this requires granting the extension the "Access your data for all web sites" permission.
