Exactly what i was looking for!

But it has a bug and i would really love to see it getting fixed soon.
If you use a custom extension like "jpg" because in the list is only "jpeg", then after downloading the files they will be in the downloads folder with the name "download" and no file extension.

So after downloading 20 images you end up with "download(1)" ... "download(20)".
If these at least had .jpg in the end would be great :)

Also sometimes it doesnt download the images and gets stuck ('pending downloads'), a second try would set all downloads complete which raises the question what went wrong the first attempt.

59.0.2 (64-Bit)

-- edit --

win10 / firefox was clean install since i use chrome for dev

i can't reproduce it either, the site seems not to want me to scrape their images and changed their image link behaviour. Nvm then, i tested the custom suffix feature on a major tech site and it worked. no bugs.

Thanks for the review and with respect to issues:

#1. Downloaded files being saved like download(1) download(2) etc..

Not reproducible.
Could you check on this thread - it requires some plugins to be removed - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1200035
and let me know if it solves the issue. If it persists you can let me know the webpage which has this issue and if you are on Windows?

#2. Downloads not being completed - pending downloads

Throttling should help. Will soon get this addressed in next version.
