My Reviews
DownloadPiggy - Video Downloader
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I have been using video download progrmas like this for a while, however never have I found one quite so compact but still feature rich. I think the thing that really sets this addon apart for me is the ability to parse a page for SWF files and then to download them easily. I wish that links to the SWF files would automatically download like the videos do rather then having to right click them. My only suggestion would be to gray out the icon in the right corner if there is nothing to download. This is definitely my new favorite download program.
Rainbow for Firebug
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I use firebug for all my script and addon development but always found it frustrating that JavaScript was never highlighted like the HTML is. Well this addon fixes all of that. Works like a charm. Can you add in the future custom colors? Thanks for this great Addon!
FlashLoader
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
There are a lot of similar programs on the web but I decide to try this one because of all the sites it supports. This is its most impressive feature. It did work for all the sites I tried. Having a simple icon in the corner of the browser is nice also. There were a few things I think could be improved in future versions. I don't like how when you click the icon to download the video it pops up an HTML window laden with ads (although this is personal preference to certain extent.) I think it would be better if when you clicked it, it just pops up a XUL based dialog box that would ask you what you want to save the file as and where (perhaps setting a default location in the options dialog) that then invokes the download. Right now it always defaults the name to get_video with no extension (probably to avoid triggering a default external program) you have to right click and hit save as to name it as you like. While this is fine it is a bit obtrustive. One last suggestion that would be nice if the icon grays out for sites that it can't download from. Right now it just pops a window with an error. Keep up the good work, I look forward to future versions. Thanks!
