You may be interested in SingleFile[1]

I use it all the time to archive webpages, and I imagine it wouldn't be hard to throw together a script to use FireFox's headless mode in combination with SingleFile to selfhost a clone of the wayback machine.

Thanks, I've seen it, last I tried it it missed bg images. But my point is this is something browsers should support better and kind of sort of do now but even with that it's a hassle.

I tested this just now on the blog post that this HN page points to and SingleFile handled the background image fine.

It's just "Firefox".

This is what I was going to say as well. Somebody on HN told me about SingleFile and I use it all the time now! Really amazing extension.
