Since I backup my /home directory, I have that already.  Based on what
the link claims, it allows you to watch videos, read articles and such
later even if offline.  If I like a page, I save it or print it as a pdf
or copy and paste it into LOo.  It might be a long way around but it
makes it available even if the website removes content or shuts down
completely, forever. 

Still, I likely don't understand all it does but I disabled it since I
don't think it serves a purpose here for me anyway.  Maybe others will.

I wonder what else Firefox does I don't know about????
