- Rated 5 out of 5by tplaccnt, 6 sni iluJust keep Version 1.2.3.1-signed.1-signed
(or get it from historical versions) and you are done. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tartan, 6 sni ilu
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13681498, 6 sni iluThis extension along with aria2c are among the greatest time savers. I use it regularly and send the generated download commands to my main machine via a remote terminal. It's even easier now to edit the output filename in cases where it doesn't catch the correct filename (sometimes the captured filenames contain illegal characters like / or :).
Thanks and keep up the good work. Five stars. But please replace illegal characters like / or : to underscore or dash in captured filenames. - Rated 5 out of 5by AdrienKiplingi, 6 sni ilu

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13533082, 7 sni iluThis add-on takes the "copy to cURL" functionality of the Network Traffic analyzer in Firefox (and the equivalent in Chrome), and combines it with your session's cookie, to allow you to download a file from behind a login-protected webserver to a server with no web-browser, and without having to actually enter your credentials. I use this addon all the time, and it is one of my favorite tools.
Thank you Zaid!! - Rated 5 out of 5by BennyBeat, 7 sni iluGlad to see Cliget is compatible with Firefox57 and up!
If you download information that is updated daily, or a program frequently, instead of wasting a precious time visiting that website regularly, you can automate the download with applications such as Aria, Curl or Wget. The problem is that these applications require quite complex commands. Cliget facilitates this work offering us a command that can be directly integrated into a sh or bat file, since Aria, Curl and Wget are available for Lin/Mac/Win platforms such Cliget. As simple as starting a download, Cliget already provides us with a link with all the necessary variables that can be used for next needed downloads. In addition, you can add custom variables. That way, you do not have to fight against the command line manually, and expose yourself to possible human error, or simply waste time with visiting each web page. Too bad I can not give more than 5 stars, because this program is a must-have for SysAdmins like me! - Rated 5 out of 5by Dr. Cheap, 7 sni iluI used this add-on a lot in the pre-FF57 days, so glad to have it back using WebExtensions API. Thanks!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Stephanus Tavilrond, 7 sni iluI used to love this plugin back before Firefox 57.0. Unfortunately, the new version - due to limtations of the new API - is not as nearly as useful as the old one, but I will still rate it 5/5 for effort.
Developer response
posted 7 sni iluThe right-click context menu is missing but it will be added soon. That feature in particular is not due to API limitation. Integrating cliget into the save-as dialog, however, is a WebExtensions limitation. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13519973, 7 sni iluOne of the best add-on for Firefox. Finally compatible with Firefox 57+. Very nice! ;-)
