by WebHD, 8 years agoI'm not sure if this is true for older versions of Firefox but on version 61.0.2 (current stable version), when this extension is installed (64-bit Firefox, 64-bit Windows 10 version 1803) it causes Firefox to still run in the background (2 processes in task manager) when Firefox has been closed.
This doesn't happen if you remove the extension, only when it's installed.

posted 8 years agoI haven't see any problems in Firefox 61.0.2. Firefox 57+ extension shouldn't be able to interfere the browser's exiting. I'll try to look into it.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Kurt, a year agoIt works, but... there's no way to use custom download locations, because /Downloads (my default location on Firefox under Debian Linux always is chosen.
That's a bad habit, because very often I use custom storage locations like USB HD's and especially bigger downloads put a high load unnecessarily on my SSD, which otherwise could be re-assigned completely.
Furthermore this AddOn seems to be dead, as there was no update since 2 full years... and there are numerous open tickets visible.
To clarify: I will re-edit this review in _ a n y _ case (dead or alive) and will downgrade it in case of a dead project and no response, so that it becomes at least obvious, that one should consider to remove this more and more function-wise dying thing from Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Grant, a year agoExcellent! It would be even better with an icon for the new Firefox sidebar :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13202285, 2 years agoThis add-on supercharges Firefox's built-in download manager by enabling multi-threading support. With no additional software required and a robust set of options, this add-on is fantastic. Thanks to the developer!
- Rated 4 out of 5by turgut kalfaoglu, 2 years agoIt's good but fails for very large files, ie 20GB or more. After the download, firefox starts saving it, but it gets stuck halfway.
