If Mozilla Firefox is unable to download from the Internet, one of its components may have become corrupted and needs to be reset or deleted. Since Firefox automatically downloads items to a default location like your Desktop or Downloads folder, you may have a problem with this location and need to choose another or clear its contents. Another solution is clearing your add-ons and plugins, as these pieces of software can interfere with Firefox's download functionalities. You may also want to reset your Internet security system, as the configuration may prevent Internet downloads.

  • Added Folx 4 and 3 support as 'Folx' (legacy support is kept as 'Folx 2')

Motivation

Since I switched from MS Internet Explorer toa serious browser, I've had only one regret: I've been missing theability to handle 'massive downloads' through a multithreaded, file splitting download manager.

In IE there was a 'Download all with MyNice DownloadManager' menu item, whichdelivered every link on a web page to the download manager, readyto be choosen and downloaded in batch.

There was nothing like this on Mozilla/Firefox,so I decided to build my solution with my own hands.. and it workspretty well (at least for me).

Now, after many releases, FlashGot is probably the most advanced form of browser integration for download managers,often better than the native one provided for IE, featuring:

  • a 'FlashGot selection' command to selectively downloaditems you highlight on the page (even pure textual links!)
  • a Build Gallery command, helping you to auto-generate complete media gallery frompartial ones to download at once all the contents in a serie.
  • Convenient shortcuts and hooks for single downloads, like Alt+Click on a link andautomatic interception of unknown content types, giving you the chance tooverride the default download manager when it is about to start.
