down them all! for batch downloading

Hi.
well I have better privacy which clears flash stuff.
add block + which I have never got anything on.
noscript which is quite good for websites scripts and add sites.
there is one for google analitics supposed to block those to.
webvisum and rumola I have both loaded.
So far its been ok and I use firefox full time.
bar a few things like opencandy firefox is more secure than ie ever will be and is opensource.
as a companion to this I use thunderbird email client to with add block pluss.
I have never bothered about ublock or down them all but then I have never needed to download batches of files.
At any rate I will be ggetting fibre sooner or later and there may not need to be any need for download managers.
I have brought the old but faithfull getright pro last year but find in most cases unless the files directly play in firefox I have no use for it.
noscript keeps files from playing on some sites and I can always download them bypassing the need to use getright.

uBlock is actually a good replacement to adblock plus. They both use the same filters like easy list. uBlock is much better optimised though and uses a lot less RAM. I'll freely admit to not having switched to uBlock in my Firefox, but only because I now mostly use a mac with Safari and for the times I use FF ABP still works.

What else do I use? Stuff that has been brought up here before, like down them all which is a really good download manager. Not only because it does batch downloads, but it also has support for segmented downloading which it does automatically that makes a lot of downloads go faster. I also have flash got, which lets you download embedded flash or HTML5 videos from any site, and noise which makes FF play sounds for various actions

I also love down them all, just remember to set it up for maximum results using the options found in tools, Down them all tools, preferences.  You'll need your NVDA cursor to read the labels of some of the option sliders, but doing so is totally worth it.
Also remember to enable 1click, and if you do so, to have DTA minimize on start, to give a sound alert and slide notification when complete, and to automatically close without the go to location prompt popping up when done.\
You can also safely close FF when DTA is running.

If you have a system with less than 6GB RAM, try Memory fox, it helps, especially with lag on launch.
So does Fasterfox if you have a slower connection, 5 megabits or less, even though some of the vital options are a bit advanced.
Vacuum places is good to run now and then if your regular cash and history cleaning isn't speeding things up like usual.

Flashgot, which you can integrate with DTA if you have it for better speed, and Save images, are both useful for getting media that doesn't want to be gotten, or just for mass downloading useful stuff like pictures for a project from Wikipedia.

I like to use Addblock plus for my add blocker because it's easy to customize, but there are lots of other good choices out there.

I use the Tore flashproxy badge and have never had any security problems because of it, but that's a personal choice, however, I highly suggest you take a look at it all the same.

I gotta go try Ublock now...

Well yeah, I'm using firefox on my laptop and it is way more accessible than Internet explorer. Using gmail it feels nice and it not crashing, well, at least, not more than IE. It also serves a better performance in reading combo boxes and in Facebook tags. What I mean by facebook tags is, when you want to mention a friend on a comment, You press @+ the name and a list of people under that name is presented to you and you can easily browse them. Moreover, you are finally out of the bloody "search and enter address". Another thing worth mentioning is that firefox with jaws will give you a better performance at typing in a crowded page. So if you type a text on youtube, jaws might not speak the letters, but if you try that on IE, jaws won't speak, but neither are the letters written.
The problem is that sometimes firefox lags on facebook. Is there any add-on to speed it up?

Cheers.
