Have you tried checking Wayback for it?

It takes the place of the Wayback extension, which broke under Firefox
version 1.5.

With this, you can just right-click the broken link on a page and select
Wayback [This] Link, and it will take you to the Wayback service's copy
of that page, without you having to manually copy-and-paste it into that
field at their front page.  Assuming they archived the given page, that
