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.
