- Rated 4 out of 5by Marko, 2 months agoAddon works fine but there's a problem as is not listed inside the Firefox Settings/Extentions!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Kasper, 2 years agoIt would be nice if the download folder could be freely chosen (not just the download folder or a subfolder of it.
It would be nice to indicate if you want to replace the files instead of adding (1), (2) - Rated 4 out of 5by vyr, 2 years agoQuite difficult to figure out how to use. Filter for file extension failed. But I achieved what I wanted, thank you.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 5967497, 6 years agoAn excellent little add-on that does what I need it to do. I have only one suggestion so far. I had the occasion to need to pause the download of a large list of files recently. The pause button worked perfectly. Only issue I had was trying to get the list to start downloading again. I eventually did figure it out, but to me it was not at all intuitive.
I think there should be a button located next to pause to "resume all" or maybe change the pause button to a "resume all" button. I initially just clicked the "start selected", assuming that it meant that everything in the download list is what would be considered "selected". When nothing happened, I started to explore other options. Found I could start individuals by clicking on them. Eventually I found the select all button, then was back in business.
That really is more complicated than it should be. I can see the need for the ability to select certain ones and to just start those when doing the queue method, but after hitting pause, it should be able to resume whatever was downloading prior to pausing. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15177242, 6 years agoI like all the features, BUT there's only one caveat -- you can't just automatically download the largest files.
It seems to have the automatic option of stopping the download of a smaller sized (but identically named) file -- except firefox still catches it and creates a duplicate.
Clicking on the largest of duplicate photos is starting to become extremely inconvenient. - Rated 4 out of 5by Google Keep Chrome Extension ported to Firefox, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14055806, 7 years agoI wanted a simple downloader for lists of PDF files from a web page (I was formerly a FireFTP user) and I searched through pages of offerings to find this one right at the end. I'm pleased that I did persevere because it simply does what I need. With a few more tweaks, it will be a 5-star Add-on.
I had to move the files to my preferred location after download, but that's a Firefox limitation as I understand it, and not onerous compared with doing each file separately without the Add-on!
When I opened the settings window, it was hidden behind the file list. Could that be changed?Developer response
posted 7 years agoA simple click on options page will hide popup panel;
However, I agree that this should happen automatically when the user clicks the settings/options button.
L.E. This is fixed now, as of 0.673 version. Thanks for testing!
