Aria2-helper version history - 3 versions
  • Be careful with old versions! These versions are displayed for testing and reference purposes.You should always use the latest version of an add-on.

  • Latest version

    Version 3.0.0

    Released May 14, 2026 - 1.14 MB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later
    [3.0.0] - 2026-05-14

    Added
    • webRequest + webRequestBlocking permissions for pre-download interception
    • webRequest.onHeadersReceived listener: intercepts Content-Disposition: attachment responses before the body arrives, preventing one-time signed URLs (e.g. GitHub) from being consumed by the browser before aria2 can fetch them

    Fixed
    • Small files (<1MB) from services like GitHub failing in aria2 — browser was finishing the download and consuming the signed URL before cancel could take effect
    • POST-triggered downloads (e.g. OpenWrt LuCI mtdblock export) being cancelled and lost — now detected via SKIP_URLS and left to the browser
    • blob: / data: URL downloads being sent to aria2 (which can't access local protocols) — now skipped

    Changed
    • Download-to-aria2 logic extracted into shared addDownloadUrlToAria2() function used by both webRequest and downloads.onCreated paths
