posted 10 months agoAs mentioned many times before (I should add this to the FAQ part), it depends on the website, this observation is not global. Many servers provide filename extensions one way or another, but e.g. twitter doesn't in any way (because websites don't need to) and my addon can't just take a wild guess as it. There will be an extension if the extension is communicated by the server as per standards. What a blown-out-of-proportion thing to give a permanent 1 star for anyway, as if that's all there is to it and as if it's any addon's fault a server decides not to expose extensions. Stupid "reviews" - more like baseless whines - like this are why I'm done developing for the public anyway.- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14624091, a year ago

posted 2 years agoSome websites do things to stop addons like this from working, and I can't change that. But the addon definitely works on sites that don't take such countermeasures. I use it myself in the latest firefox, as do many other happy reviewers. Don't use reviews for misplaced and false bug reports, they belong in an email with proper information like which site you're trying to use it on. Simply writing "doesn't work" is an utter waste of everyone's time and blatantly wrong.- Rated 1 out of 5by ragernothingworks, 2 years agoIt just does not work, you can click all you like, it won't download on Firefox.

posted 2 years agoSorry but I'm using firefox and this addon myself, and it definitely works, as it does for other people too. There are some sites that do things that prevent addons like this from working (e.g. clickable overlays on images), you may be trying to use it on such a site. Fair enough it doesn't work then but that's no basis to say this addon never works. Please use reviews only for serious, well prepared review content. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14044871, 2 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Fletch, 2 years agoAdd on does nothing when you double click. Hovering over the pic does nothing as well. Is this add on legit?

posted 7 months agoA few dozen thousand people certainly feel it does, I just can't promise it works on every website and every image. - Rated 1 out of 5by Nijaz Muratović, 4 years agogood except that it does not automatically add extension to images that do not have it in file name, EDIT: Sorry, but it does! Take look at other extensions that manipulate file names like Image Max URL, Download All Images, Save Page WE, SingleFile...

posted 4 years agoThanks for the simple and honest summary. For fairness' sake, just know that firefox specifically does not even implement the download renaming API. Firefox addons could not add a missing extension even if the developer really wanted to.
Edit/reply: not in the way you think. Those addons determine their own filename from a bunch of guesswork. I consider that an anti-feature and want to leave the initial naming to the browser. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14340167, 5 years ago

posted 6 years agoYou should really explain why. I know there are issues with it, but the essentials work fine. - Rated 1 out of 5by secpol, 7 years agoI have a lot of folders with images of different subjects, and move images from the download folder to thematic folders - kill time. Useless application. Add save as.
Developer response
posted 7 years ago"save as" is built into every browser. This addon is for people who want to skip that. Not my fault you expect something from my addon that isn't its goal. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13774596, 7 years ago

posted 7 years agoYou should really include a reason why you rate it lowly. If your problem is the recent bug with firefox 58.0.1 where the "save as" dialog appears, that's a firefox bug I can't reproduce (nor fix) so far. Bugs are not allowed as motivation for downrating an addon on AMO, exactly because of situations like this.
