Scrapbook was a nice Firefox add-on to save web pages together with their images.
However, it wasn’t updated to be the new kind of add-on which Firefox 57 Quantum requires, and, being considered a legacy add-on, was deactivated when the auto-upgrade upgraded Firefox from version 56 to 57 in November 2017.
Scrapbook data is still on the disk, but you can’t read it with your nice Scrapbook addon, because it doesn’t work anymore.
One solution, at least a temporary solution, is to install two versions of Firefox. You can then use Scrapbook with a Firefox version prior to 57.
You can have multiple profiles with Firefox, so you don’t lose any data, neither when you launch the old Firefox nor when you launch the latest one.

If you have some other solution I’ll be glad to hear it, write me, I’ll publish it here!
I wrote an article about scrapbook syncronizing, however I still haven’t written the syncronizer.
