Firefox download all links pdf

This extension is a generalist file downloader: for some very specific types it may be better to use other, more specialized extensions video downloaders, for example. The extension doesn't work in private browsing mode. The user defined folders are only relative to default browser's download directory; this is a general web extensions security limitation. How to use this extension? Answer Say for example you have opened a web page with many pdf resources.

The most basic workflow it to open the extension popup via the browser toolbar icon and click there the Load page links button.

This usually fills the resources list with all sort of links, not only the desired pdfs. So the next step is to filter this list, such that only desired pdfs stays here. Write pdf in the extensions text field. Now only pdf type resources show in the list. If the list is still too large you want only smaller subset you may continue the filtering process indicating some relevant terms in the next text filter field.

Finally, you check desired items individually or all at once and start immediate downloading using the corresponding button on right bottom corner. The downloading items are now visible in the downloads tab of the popup; you can manage this list in the usual manner pause, resume, open or remove individual items etc Question 2. How about other alternative workflows? Answer The general idea of the extension is to collect links to the resources list with optional filtering and finally to add checked items to the download queue.

The collecting stage has many variations: using the web page context-menu: you can right-click individual links from the web page or a larger selected text region using the special tabs dialog; here you can collect links from active tab all tabs right tabs left tabs and even decide if the collected links must be immediately downloaded or if the associated tabs must be finally closed.

The resource list has too many links and I find it difficult to recognize the wanted ones! Answer By default, the resource list displays the estimated filenames of the collected links.

These names are usually different from those displayed on the web page. There are many possible strategies here: If the desired items are images, it may be better to use the thumbnails view there is a special toggle button for this. If you know the file extensions of the desired items, you can use this info for the extensions filter box.

Sometimes it may be better to select a text zone on the web page including relevant links and use the context menu to extract only links from this selected text range. More generally, it's important to know that every item has some textual info associated to it.
