- Rated 5 out of 5by OM_RA, 3 years agoIt works. It would be useful if the download manager (download list) could also be opened in a new tab. That way, you could comfortably visualize all my downloads. I hope you can implement that function.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17202105, 3 years agoWorks, but download the same files over and over with (1), (2), and so on, when revisiting a web file list resource, unaware of files it's already downloaded. Remember to pre-select the default download folder and turn off the [ save to where ] option first. Maybe the next version will allow selecting a target folder, and compare remote and local directories and ONLY get new files, PLEASE.
. - Rated 2 out of 5by Sly65, 3 years agoThis is cool but it doesn't work except on the active tab. I select "all" and reload and it never seems to notice other media on other tabs.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Frédéric Jeanbart, 3 years agoIt works nicely. However, the interface is NOT "simple", utterly akward and non-intuitive. For instance, one has to dig uselessly in order for it to simply keep the download list (resource list, load page links, active or passive queue wtf man) between sessions else it gets automatically deleted even if you don't manually "delete list"(and you need to go back to the source page). I've loaded a list, then clicked on the option icon, and when I got back everything was deleted from the list... The only links that it automatically keeps are those that are already downloading and "incomplete" (in the "active" list...). I mean, that have not begun downloading. Those that were paused are deleted from the download list (weird) : thus this plugin is useless, since you can't interrupt a download and then exit the browser, as only those that haven't begun are kept... I don't know really, but It seems that it actually integrates the browser's own doanload engine, hence the lack of a true pause feature (download from where it was paused after a reboot for instance), at least in the latest FF version. You can save the download list in a file and then load it back, or load it into another download manager, however most free download managers can also do this.
Select links, then "add to resource list" for not downloading then right away, but that list is lost if you close the browser, go into the setup window or whatnot : you MUST put them in the "download" (active?) list. And if you close the browser while it's downloading, it cancels the current downloads (they're not kept automatically), and you must go back to the web resource in order to get the links back. You need to pause the download, but even then you lose the list when coming back. And I can't find how to save the list although I was sure I've already did this (or did I?).
When the most common and simplest functions are NOT so simple and intuitive enough to get by the UI, as one needs to dig through tabs and button clicks while having to fumble over other functionalities and losing lists in doing so, it's not good. I've kept it only for the possibility of saving download lists. Now using something else. - Rated 5 out of 5by Korwin, 3 years agoДействительно, просто. И функционально. В Mozilla Firefox 91.0b1 (64-bit) работает без нареканий.

- Rated 5 out of 5by peps, 4 years agoIt works fine and is really easy to understand, nothing technical. Simply load the page where the stuff you want to download is, choose what to download (or everything at once) and done!

- Rated 5 out of 5by The_Original_Alex_Portnoy, 4 years agoThis rating shows up in my profile, but there's nothing with it to indicate what I reviewed. Reviewing it so I can at least search for the review.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15720873, 5 years agoFantastic! (on ubuntu 18.04), only issue is that the "Add to passive..." actually starts the download!, once you know, you can do your work around...
