XUL add-ons (until Firefox 56.0) could be extremely powerful and using Firefox I could do things unachievable with other browsers. Dumping the powerful XUL add-ons in favour of the feeble WebExtensions is one of the many reasons I would never use the Quantum monstrosity on my machine- countless options were removed, customization is non-existent, bugs are never addressed, the user is being spied on in all possible ways (including system add-ons), the resource usage is incredible. For me Firefox is a dead browser (just like Opera) but I still keep a very old version because it is heavily equipped with add-ons with which I can do virtually everything. If someone makes XUL add-on for HTTP Downloader it will work not only with Pale Moon but with SeaMonkey and Firefox version 56 or earlier as well.

As far as I'm aware, Pale Moon doesn't support the WebExtensions API. They continue to use the old Firefox API which I'm not familiar with. If anyone wants to take it up, then I don't mind. Personally, I like the standardization of the WebExtensions and Chrome/Chromium APIs.

yeah i thought so, Pale Moon does use the old Xul for extensions, thought id ask, maybe some wizard here can grant us support for Pale moon :)

Yeap that's why i am using Pale Moon, like i said maybe there is a Wizard to grant as the support for this :)

Any news regarding this suggestion?

I have no plans to do an older Firefox extension. However, you can try using HTTP Downloader with FlashGot.
from httpdownloader.
Maybe someone else could make one later on.

No one has started work on one as of now. I wonder if you could make a network driver that intercepts downloads like how the one in Internet Download Manager does.
from httpdownloader.
A driver would be even more work. FlashGot works fine for now.

How does the Web Extension send the URL that was clicked on to HTTP Downloader?
from httpdownloader.
It sends a POST request using XMLHttpRequest.
Here's the general format for the request:
httpdownloader/HTTP_Downloader_Chrome_Extension/download.js
Lines 96 to 105 in 11c8176
I've changed it a bit in the latest version though, but it's fairly straightforward.

No one has tried making an addon for it as of now.
