I used this wonderful add-on on a FF version older than 57(after which, basically our experience in FF became more or less painful).
It gets the job done! How? Let me tell you. Well, with a bit of help from another wonderful good old FF extension called Flashgot(it seems that Mozilla removed this extension from their add-on website, like it is the case with many extensions that could not be ported to those damn webextensions).
So, here are the steps:
0.make sure you have set in the Image Downloader preferences the Deep Scan(extremely IMPORTANT feature that can pick original size images that are behind thumbnails{kind of you see a thumbnail image that is actually a webpage that contains a link to the original image}) and chosed a minimum width(height) of images from hyperlinks{I have chosen 500}
1.Click Image Downloader button, then click Current Tab
2.The extension is very helpful showing you the resolution of the picked images(and a direct link to the original image), so you can select with left click every image you want. After that you click on "Save to Dash board" (it is a button on the right top corner. (Save to folder did not worked for me at all, but even if it did, considering the limitations that Mozilla imposed(the fact that add-ons can only download under Downloads folder, and cannot let the user select the desired location), would have been for nothing.
3.Click Image Downloader button, then click "Dashboard". In the page that opens, right click then FlashGot All, then you can select the desired location download the images.
P.S. Just a thought for the developer: if you could somehow send the selected links from the ImgDwnldr_Menu, to another downloader(another extension or program outside of FF) which for sure let us select the download location !?

Good Idea, I'm gonna try to see what I can do, for now I think I can easily add a simple button to copy all links to the clipboard - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6867318, 6 years agoThis extension is basically a waste of time. Far too complex. For practical purposes, if you need to batch download a bunch of pictures, you must first select the ones you want and have them opened in tabs to the right, then invoke Downloader and chose the pix to the right. Or, you can just have Downloader open all links on the current page and it then opens with every link presented, then you must go through, if all are selected (noted by a yellow line around the pix) deselect them all, one click. then go and select each image you want downloaded. Ain't got time for this kind of s$&t.
there used to be available a simple batch downloader where you selected the images on the site of your choice. then right clicked on the page and you could tell it to download the selected images. Simple. that is what I want. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13532498, 6 years agoВсё супер, за исключением того, что нельзя указать целиком путь для сохранения, только имя папки в папке загрузок по умолчанию. А если в настройках FireFox стоит "Каждый раз выдавать запрос", то запрос выдаётся на каждый файл, что сводит на нет саму идею пакетной закачки. Очень надеюсь, что появится возможность указывать путь сохранения целиком - тогда это будет идеальное расширение. В остальном просто шикарно, спасибо большое автору!
Everything is super, except that you can not specify the entire path to save, just the folder name in the default downloads folder. And if in the FireFox settings it is "Every time to issue a request," the request is issued for each file, which negates the very idea of batch download. I hope that it will be possible to specify the entire save path - then this will be the ideal extension. In the rest it's just gorgeous, thanks to the great author!Developer response

Yes I understand you I would like to be able to specify the entire path to save too, but this isn't possible, firefox made this restriction for security and privacy reason to protect the user.
The only thing I can do to get closer is to ask the user where to download each file 1 by 1 but as you said we lose the idea of batch download
Большое спасибо за отзывы!
Да, я понимаю, что я хотел бы также указать весь путь для сохранения, но это невозможно, Firefox сделал это ограничение для защиты и конфиденциальности, чтобы защитить пользователя.
Единственное, что я могу сделать, чтобы приблизиться, - спросить пользователя, где скачать каждый файл 1 на 1, но, как вы сказали, мы потеряли идею пакетной загрузки - Rated 4 out of 5by Daniel Wu, 6 years agoThe add-on works as intended, but I realy hope that you can make us pick a location where to save the selected images, which is independent from Firefox's setting. The way it is tied to Firefox's download setting makes it hard to use. Also more costumization for file renaming, such as picking the number of digits, padding them with zeroes.

posted 6 years agoThanks a lot, for the review and the good suggestions !
However about picking a specific location outside of Firefox's setting I would be glad to have it too, but this isn't possible (sadly),
Firefox made this restriction for security and privacy reason, to protect the user from malicious addon - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14241465, 6 years agoThis is what i was looking for! Fast and easy to use. Thanks!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 11440590, 6 years ago¿Se podría hacer que de 10 imágenes por ejemplo, unas de ellas fueran a una carpeta o subcarpeta y las otras fuesen a otra carpeta o subcarpeta?.

hum, I admit that such a feature would be nice and useful, but it will not be really easy for me to do it, I'll think about it and try to see what I can do

¡Gracias por la crítica!
Admito que una característica así sería agradable y útil, pero no será realmente fácil para mí, lo pensaré y trataré de ver qué puedo hacer.
