    sigh… if only DownThemAll or any other powerful extensions work after Firefox 57, I wouldn’t be thinking of switching to another browser. Too bad Mozilla decided to push through with the WebExtensions plan before making sure their best existing extensions continue to work.

      Have you checked out Bulk Media Downloader? It may suit your needs…

        Can it accelerate downloads? Nope.

          Also, it needs an external downloader to work best. With DownThemAll, everything is within the extension while the extension itself has a low disk footprint. Beat that!

        Do you even know what makes DownThemAll good before suggesting that?

        DownThemAll can do bulk media downloading while having it’s own download manager and accelerator.

        Can Bulk Media Downloader do that? NO! It even needs an external download manager to work well.

    Hello,
    I would like to de-nominate this featured add-on:
    Speed Dial (Lite)
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dial-lite/
    I think it’s making extremely bad name for Firefox and I’m surprised how add-on with such poor rating can be picked as Featured in the first place!

      Welcome to the WebExtensions era! Seriously, they’ve had better extensions with even more features than this.

    Is it just me or the featured extensions are kinda boring?
    Probably just the WebExtensions framework not providing the developers the kind of functionality they once had to create groundbreaking Firefox extensions
