Review by Henry Krinkle
Rated 2 out of 5
by Henry Krinkle, 4 years agocould be 4 or even 5 stars but:
1. i'd suggest adding an option to download to a folder other than the location set within firefox and
2. not sure if it's a recent FF update or the add-on itself but it's been failing hard lately. when i set it to close tabs after saving (convenient and seems to speed up the process a bit) it "pretends" to save them but they're nowhere to be found. if i select all and chose "dl selected" or "dl all" with "close after" unselected it usually saves most of the tabs but it's gotten insanely slooooooooooooooooow. like 56k slow.
fixing one or both of these would make it a better add-on and get 5 stars easily.

posted 4 years agoThank you, I guess.
1. It's technically impossible
2. Make sure the option "Misc. > save pages in background" is enabled. The missed download bug (when this option is disabled) will be fixed in the version 1.18.50.

posted 16 days agoThis should be possible by enabling 'File name > open the "Save as" dialog to confirm the file name' or by disabling 'Misc. > save pages in background' in the options page of SingleFile.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17504437, 17 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15347543, 19 days agoThis functionality should be provided by browsers as a default. They don't, so this app fills the gap.
Functions as expected. Thanks! - Rated 3 out of 5by e2t, 20 days agoIt's little boring to disable an addon icon from tab context menu every time manually.

posted 20 days agoWhat are you referring to? I don't think I can fix this problem. However, note that you can use keyboard shortcuts. - Rated 5 out of 5by molitar, 21 days agoFirst thing that has worked to save a page that had two frames with tables in it!
