FlashGot
Firefox and Thunderbird add-on that hands single and batch downloads to an external, user‑
FlashGot is a free add-on for Firefox and Thunderbird that hands downloads to an external download manager instead of the browser's built-in handling. It addresses the need to collect single links, selected links, or every link on a page and dispatch them in batch to a preferred manager.
Its commands include FlashGot Link, FlashGot Selection, FlashGot All, FlashGot Tabs, and FlashGot Media for streaming audio and video, plus a Build Gallery function that assembles media galleries from content spread across pages. It supports a wide range of download managers on Windows, Linux/FreeBSD/Unix-like systems, and macOS, with optional Wine and Darwine support for Windows-only managers on Linux and Mac. Custom managers can be added via an executable path and an argument template with placeholders for URL, referrer, cookies, folder, POST data, and other values. Options cover default manager selection, menu items, file-type routing, and privacy settings for referrer and cookie forwarding.
FlashGot is distributed as Free Software and is packaged as a free browser add-on, with no paid editions or seat-based plans indicated.
