issues with Firefox 3.6b2

[archizoo]

After installing Firefox's latest beta, 3.6b2, I have had problems with Flashgot, my favorite download manager.

I typically use it to grab photos from the architectural and design sites I visit. No longer, however, do I get the familiar interface that allows me to select the type of image (jpeg, etc), and manage the download location and process. Instead, I get only a small dropdown at the top of my Firefox window, an OK or cancel button, and then a non-discriminate process of downloading absolutely everything from the site. That is, instead of a dozen photos, I get hundreds of files with html page codes, icons, comments, etc.

Is Flashgot not compatible with the latest Firefox? If not, will it soon be? If this is not the issue, what is?

Thanks to any and all for your help!

What external download manager are you using?
Could you take a screenshot of what you get?

Georgio –

I think I am uncovering the issue –
In the past, I have used DownloadThemAll as my downloader. It looks as if it has not yet been updated to Firefox 3.6b2, right? That is, I do not see an update in my addons, and cannot make it "live." I assume that was the device that I referred to earlier, that gave me the options window and then the download progress window.

I just installed JDownloader and am trying to learn what it's all about. It appears, however, that I cannot get it to automatically launch with FlashGot. Any insight on that?

Thanks again for your help!

[Giorgio Maone]

Hmm, latest FlashGot version (1.2.0.8) should be able to launch it automatically on Mac OS X as well.
Could you show me your log (FlashGot Options|Advanced|Show Log)?

Georgio –

Was that helpful? Any ideas on what the problem might be, yet?

Thanks!

[Giorgio Maone]

Sorry, your log does not help.
However, if you don't have it yet, could you install the Java embedding plugin and retry?

[archizoo]

Georgio---

Looks like it's already there!

Jim

Giorgio---

We've assured we have the Java embedding plugin installed (we're running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2), and have the latest version of both JDownloader and Flashgot.

So right now I have to copy the url, carry it over to JDownloader, get it parsed, scrol thorough and select my package of interest, and download it, then close out.

With Flashgot and DownloadThemAll, I would simply right click on the image, select FlashGotAll, and the download of all jpegs (or whatever I selected) would proceed rapidly and in background.

So I guess what we're saying is that DowloadThemAll is not yet compatible with Firefox 3.6b2, and so therefore I should not expect Flashgot to perform in the same beautiful, seamless, automatic, efficient way, as in the past. Right?

And in the meantime, it appears that there is nothing you can suggest that will get Flashgot to recognize JDownloader to automatically launch it and reduce the steps in its operation (similarly to how DownloadThemAll used to work). Is that right?

Anything more we can do until the update of DownloadThemAll to get a more efficient experience?

Thanks!
