Download Star for Firefox

If, for whatever reason, you intend to download images, video, audio files or any other types of documents in bulk mode from a specific web page, you need a dedicated software utility to help you complete the task.

Download Star is one such tool that comes in the form of a Firefox extension that lets you grab files from any website out there with minimal effort while also allowing you to apply filters so that you make sure you only collect relevant content.

First off, it should be said that, once you have installed the browser addon, you should see its icon in the toolbar. Simply access the site you want to download items from in a new tab, click the extension’s icon, and decide on the data you are looking for.

You can choose from images, audio, video, executables, archives, and documents, with a fast filter component being integrated as well. Once the scan is complete, all items are displayed in the main window so that you can manually check or uncheck any of item. Aside from that, you can specify whether files should be skipped, renamed, or overwritten on conflict.

Users may also want to know that, as regards the output location, the program can only save items to Windows’ Downloads folder, but you are presented with the possibility of creating subfolders so that you can organize your files.

Last but not least, it should be said that clearing the download history is possible at a mouse click in case you want an extra layer of privacy.

On an ending note, Download Star for Firefox is a nice browser companion if you are looking into ways of collecting media, archives, or other documents from specific web pages in bulk mode. The Firefox extension can automate an otherwise repetitive and time-consuming task, and even though its set of features is not exactly impressive, it is worth a chance.
