(it used to be a nice easy right click and save as with the good old firefox)
Its nice and handy on your own drive and you can re-install it after a system restore without having to log into mozilla.org
Well I've been a huge fan of "copy links" and still run my old v1.5 firefox just so I can use it.
I was overjoyed to find its now available for v3.xx, all I have to do is download it.
Easy, have a go
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... 1.5-fx.xpi
Ok once you log in you can install it but if you search your hard drive for a copy of the file its vanished, not even *.xpi finds anything.
It took me 20 minutes to figure out how to grab my own copy but I got it in the end
make a .html file in notepad and add the following
Code: Select all
<a href="https://YOUR-USERNAME:YOUR-PASSWORD@addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/32015/copy_links-0.1.5-fx.xpi">
Right click and save as</a>
*add your own username password and url to the .xpi file you want to grab)
load the html into firefox then open a new window and copy and paste the .xpi url into it
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... 1.5-fx.xpi
Log in and whilst its asking you if you want to install the add on right click the link in the other page and save as, is shows as an error unable to download the file in firefox but the download does work and the file will be saved to your drive
I works fore me anyway
