If i can ask a feature, is it possible to make after clicking OK the window with address to disappear (but to be possible from Options to turn it on/off)

Daniel,

Re: dialog
What you are experiencing is not a bug. It is expected design behavior due to how lget taps into the firefox download functionality. I have to agree with you 100% that it is annoying and it should dismiss the window but I won’t be able to address that for the next little while.

If anyone out there has looked at the code and has a solution let me know and I’ll try to take some time to add it to the next version.

Re: security code
I know what you mean, and I mess security codes all the time. I usually manage to go through my careful typing.

Heh, you ever going to fix the irritating bug where the dialog box doesn’t go away when the download begins?

It makes it look like nothing happened.

btw, I misread the first security code (horrible) and got rejected. Hit Back, and the “Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache …” header field prevented Firefox from putting back what I typed, so I had to type it again. Argh. I need to stop Firefox obeying Cache-Control …

Fucking hell … that’s twice I’ve failed to read the security code. This is insane.

@Nicklay

That’s a very good point. I will make a note of it and attempt to fix/implement that. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thanks for the extension. Could you make it respect the download preferences in Firefox? Specifically, by default Firefox saves files to desktop without asking and your extension still asks where to save.

It looks that all you need to do is read browser.download.useDownloadDir pref and if it’s true, pass true to aSkipPrompt of saveURL.

Hm, still has the old bug where after you click OK to begin the download, the dialog box doesn’t go away and you have to cancel it. Surely this can be fixed? (Other extension-created dialogs can be successfully dismissed)

Exactly the extension I am looking for but receiving an error – “Invalid File Hash” – tried downloding twice.

Is it compatible with Fx 1.5.0.7?

By the way, are you interested in extra php work? Might have some…

Regards,

Excellent fx extension!!

Can I make a request for an additional function. The ability to copy in more that one download at a time.

Thanks again for the tool.

Hello!
I have a problem with your extension. It works great but it shows up all dialogs in English, although I have a german Version of Firefox and Firefox is set to work with German (Preferences -> Languages) and lget is also having a german translation. What to do?

Awesome! thanks for getting an fx 2.0 version ready to roll so quickly. Much appreciated.
