DownThemAll!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A FIVE STAR BROWSER DOWNLOAD MANAGER - AND THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND.
STICK WITH FF 56, PALEMOON OR WATERFOX FOR THIS TO WORK.

The best in-browser download manager - hands down. Ever.

It is shame that the addon no longer works with FF 57+ (Quantum) ... and I have decided that I will stick with FF 56.0.2 and disable its auto-update ... for as long as reasonably possible. I know that FF announced Quantum + WebExtensions a long time back, and this could have been ported from XUL/XPCOM to WebEx, but then I neither understand the complex nature of browser APIs, nor do I code myself or pay the bills of the DTA author(s) who did this for free for years as a labour of love.

Here's to hoping that the author(s) find time and resources to make a WebEx version possible (and Mozilla doesn't break things and do sh*t) again. Addons are what made FF great, and they should work with authors of popular addons ... but they are a non-profit themselves. I have donated before, and will make an effort to do so once again - hoping it is some measure of encouragement, even willing to buy a "paid version" for a few $$$.

For those clueless mugs complaining and giving 1* because it does not work with FF57+, do us a service and GTFO and use Chrome / Edge / Opera or somesuch crap. Others who love FF's performance, features and this addon (DownThemAll) will find a way to stay on FF56 or use WaterFox or PaleMoon.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.0.8). 

Saved Password Editor

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Does what it says. And flexible enough to find duplicates, old / outdated logins etc, and just works for entering new logins through the "guess" feature even in many non-standard login pages of sites. It is a shame that FF57 kills this without any API support for the same function to port to a WebExtension version of Saved Password Editor. The inbuilt features are inadequate in FF57. Hope Mozilla rectifies this going forward. Too many useful plugins being killed in this transition without any native support.
