❓Guide: Saving outside the default download directory

The WebExtensions API does not allow files to be saved outside of the default download directory. A symlink inside the default download directory can be used to get around this limitation.

Invalid paths ( .. and /) are ignored. Files and directories with leading dots ( foo/.hidden) are considered invalid by Firefox and Chrome.

Windows: mklink /D C:\\path\\to\\symlink D:\\path\\to\\actual

macOS/Unix: ln -s /path/to/actual /path/to/symlink

Make sure the target directories actually exist, or the extension will silently fail to download.

• Replace Invalid Characters: Set a replacement character for invalid characters in filenames.
  • Leave blank to delete. Invalid replacement characters are ignored.
• Enable fetching via content script (Firefox only): Fetch files using a content script (useful for bypassing server-side protections).
  • Do not enable this if you have no problems downloading. Download from the content page and not the extension, sending headers from the page itself. Some sites (eg. pixiv.net) require this to bypass server-side protections. Slower and prone to failure. Success/failure notifications do not work in this mode. Requires page refresh to take effect.
• Enable fetching via Fetch API (Firefox only): Use the HTML Fetch API for downloading (useful for sites incompatible with the browser's Downloads API).
  • Do not enable this if you have no problems downloading. Download using HTML Fetch API instead of the browser’s Downloads API for extensions. Some sites (eg. Instagram) are incompatiable with Firefox’s Downloads API.
• Set the "Referer" header to page URL if it is missing: Modify the "Referer" header for certain downloads.
• Set Referer Headers for the Following Sites: Whitelist match patterns for sites that should modify headers. Whitelist of match patterns to match against. One per line. Headers will only be modified for downloads (source URLs) that match this whitelist. MDN: Match patterns
  • Do not enable this if you have no problems downloading, and try using the content script option before this. Some sites (eg. pixiv.net) check HTTP Referer headers on the server. Enabling this will set the HTTP Referer header to the page URL if it does not already exist.

Settings

• Import & Export settings: Import or export current settings for backup or sharing.
• Enable debug logging: Enable detailed logging for debugging purposes.
