- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13984798, 7 years agoVery simple to install and configure, it replaced seamlessly the "classic complement" I used in the old Firefox, having a little more functionality, too - it tells me the speed I am donloading stuff at, which is not to be disregarded, as I live with a slowish copper ADSL and sometimes I have to tune transmission down.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13610268, 7 years agoIt's a fantastic extension. It's a very easy to config.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13607107, 7 years agoVery nice extension, does exactly what it's supposed to do. An option to just add the torrent without going to the transmission web interface would be a great enhancement.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13508952, 7 years agoWorks well, thanks to the developer! I would prefer if left clicking a magnet/torrent would add it without opening transmission web interface. You can avoid this by right clicking magnet/torrent and add it that way, but it's a bit more work.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13493949, 7 years agowell it works, but why force the page to go to the transmission web interface, rather than stay on/return to the page that the torrent/magnet link was clicked on? Maybe some people want that, but I we sure dont, wheres the option not to? what if you want to open multiple links on one page (happens a lot) ?

posted 7 years agoAre you talking about the click to add? Use the right click menu item instead!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13479636, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by rakudave, 7 years agoWorks as advertised! The icon could use some work as doesn't really fit in with the new Firefox 57 look, and a tooltip-style "added successfully" notification would be nice, but other than that I'm pretty happy with it. And if you're looking for ideas for version 2, maybe a "sort downloads by ..." option would be nice ;-)

posted 7 years agoThanks! Sorting is currently by queue order, latest first. I have considered making that configurable, but I'm not sure what else is a useful sort order. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12947434, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Krzysztof113, 7 years agoWorks OK. Some notification would be needed if adding was successful or otherwise.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13448582, 7 years agoUseless. Shows current dowloads but doesn't add new.

This is odd, if you can see them, you should be able to add torrents with the right click context menu action. Have you been trying to add private torrents? That didn't work before, but now it's supported in the latest version, 1.1.0 :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13219455, 7 years agoIt's doing the job fine. It's just not as good as the previous Addon I was using.
It displays the torrents in a nice looking GUI, but there is no interaction with the GUI on the browser. In the previous addon I was able to enable slow-mode and stop the seeding of each client in the gui itself, whereas on this addon, I need to open up the transmission interface and do it from there.
The torrent right click and add function seems to be very hit or miss. It's worked approx 50% of the time.
I'm hoping this addon is still in the early stages of dev because I really like it as far as design. Just wish the functionality was a bit more stable and interactive.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI might add a bit more interactivity in the future, but I'm not looking to replicate the whole web UI :D
Adding might work better for you in the new version (1.1.0) — torrent files are now downloaded in the browser, so private torrents should work. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12231963, 7 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Rune, 7 years agoI cannot get it to work. It fails silently. I can't figure out why. I use a similar chrome app that is connecting and adding torrent files without issue. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kfbocdnicmioodheiciijiegbmfoliim

Make sure the URL is correct (ends in /transmission/ as described in the field) and you can access the Transmission Web UI. - Rated 5 out of 5by NitroG42, 7 years agoWorks exactly as advertised for me (except that sometime I have to relog into transmission to make it works).
I use SSL and http auth and it works (because it uses the cookie). - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13187764, 7 years agoTested with transmission 2.84.
Might be something to do with my odd setup (transmission is in another subnet, behind SSL and password)
Other addons such as "Add to Transmission" and "Transmission easy client" work without issuesDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoThanks for leaving a one star review instead of contacting me privately :) Subnets and SSL should be fine — I use it with not just SSL but a client certificate — but I haven't tried setting a password. I'll try that soon.
UPDATE: tried setting a password / required authentication. It works! Firefox just asks for the password with the standard basic auth dialog.
