Export a website table or list to Excel or CSV in Firefox

Copying a table or a list of search results from a web page into a spreadsheet usually goes wrong. Pasting puts everything in one column, links get lost, and lists built from cards (products, jobs, directory entries) are not tables at all, so "copy table" tools do not see them.

List & Table Scraper is a Firefox add-on that finds the repeated data on the page for you and exports it. It is free to install and use. An optional Pro license is for long multi-page runs.

Add to Firefox (free)

How it works

  1. Open the page with the list or table and click the add-on's toolbar button.
  2. It picks the block of repeated rows, outlines it on the page and shows a preview. Real HTML tables use their header cells as column names. If it picked the wrong block, click Try another.
  3. Rename a column by typing in its header, or remove it with the x.
  4. Click Download CSV, Excel (.xlsx) or JSON, or copy everything as tab separated text to paste into Google Sheets or Excel.
