About Resurrect Pages Fork

Resurrect Pages Fork is a Firefox add-on that finds cached or mirrored copies of webpages when the original page is unavailable. It can query services including Cachew, The Internet Archive, WebCite, archive.is, and a Down for everyone? check.

It can be used from the right-click menu for the current page and links, from a toolbar button, and with Ctrl-Shift-U. Not every page is in every cache; if a selected source has no copy, its error page appears and another source can be tried.
