It is not the only one though as there is a bunch of others that users may find useful.įirst, DownThemAll is restartless now which means that you can install it without having to restart Firefox to complete the installation.

Support for Firefox's multi-process architecture is without doubt the main feature of the latest DownThemAll version. While it will take some time before Mozilla will enable the multi-process architecture for Firefox installations with add-ons, that time will come and any add-on not compatible then will stop working when that happens. That's a big step for any add-on as it ensures the add-on will remain compatible with future releases of the Firefox web browser. The most recent version of DownThemAll supports e10s which means that you may run it in Firefox versions with e10s enabled. Multi-process Firefox offers advantages such as better stability, performance, and also security over single-process Firefox. Since many add-ons are not compatible yet, it is not enabled for users with add-ons by default, but only for a percentage of users without any add-on installed. DownThemAll e10s compatibilityĮ10s, or multi-process Firefox, is slowly being integrated into Firefox Stable. It supports features like download acceleration by splitting larger files into segments, scheduled downloading, multiple retries, automatic cleaning of the download list and a lot more. You may filter the listing, and download multiple files at once using its interface. It integrates itself in the right-click menu of Firefox and through other means, and lists all links, and pictures and media, found on the page it is activated on. DownThemAll is probably the most popular download manager add-on for the Firefox web browser with more than 1.1 million users.
