Review by john morton

works well for me, but its missing some of the actions in the legacy addon I used for years til it broke after firefox 52.
This was called Context Menu Image Saver by choobin, it had a pull down in options for "if the image exists the save action will be": 1. prompt user, (giving the choices rename or overwrite), 2. save as a unique file, (rename). or 3. overwrite the existing file. This worked brilliantly for all situations, Please incorporate this feature if you can, Regards.

Hey John, thanks for your feedback!

Unfortunately it seems Firefox Quantum still doesn't support a prompt. Here is the issue:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1425515

However, it does support manually setting the option, which - if I understand correctly - is what the extension you mentioned does. This should be fairly simple to implement, so I'll have a go at it soon!

    Unfortunately there is no context menu coming up. Android BTW. Any ideas?

    Sorry, didn't see your review before! To be honest I've never tested this add-on on Android. Your review suggests it doesn't work there, so I removed it from the listings for now to avoid confusing future users. Sorry again and thanks for the report!

    In version 74, it caused an error, but when it was updated to 74.0.1 it started working! Whith symlinks it's a very necessary addition. I would only like to save without confirmation of the directory, even if the firefox options include a request for the save path.

    Hey, Piston! Thanks for your review!
    I was unaware of the error so I wouldn't be able to tell the cause, but I'm glad it's working now.
    I also wish it would be possible to do what you said, but unfortunately Firefox doesn't offer that possibility. You either have to keep confirming each download or disable the option entirely. I think it would be a great idea to file (or find) a bug on Bugzilla for that.

    Quiza no sepan español, pero quise dar mi opinión de todas maneras porque esta extensión la he seguido desde hace mucho tiempo, y si no es esta es una igual. Se facilita muchísimo la navegación y el guardado de las imágenes. Por ejemplo cuando estas buscando imágenes para tus trabajos, o por ocio, y con la extensión puedes guardarlas de manera clasificada en un instante. Lo que si me gustaría es que se pudieran crear carpetas para guardar desde cualquier dirección de carpeta y no solo en la de descarga.

    ¡Hola, Kenji!

    Primeramente, comprendo Español perfectamente, pero no hablo muy bien, entón perdón si es dificil entenderme.

    Me alegro mucho que el add-on le sea util :)

    Me habia olvidado incluir en la descripción, pero de hecho es posible guardar desde cualquier dirección de carpeta. En la pagina de opciones puedes encontrar instrucciones, pero puedes volver a contactarme si necesario.
