I was using foxyspider successfully for several months until firefox auto updated to version 26. After the update it will no longer download. All other functions work but files will not be saved. A new page will open and thumbnails are visible, but when the option to save files manually or select all files is chosen and a location is selected to download, nothing happens. Again, it worked properly with the previous version of firefox.. I have contacted the developer of foxyspider twice but have received no reply. If it does not work anymore, I will have to give it a poor rating. Before firefox 26.0 foxy spider was 10 of 10 but no it is a big zero.

Hello rickster_too,

Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. I'm sorry that the Foxyspider developer has not gotten back to you.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension?

It looks like the developer isn't very active on his social media channels, but you might try reaching out there.

And there are a number of other addons that you can try that will work with FF26. Here's a list of similar addons that Mashable put together.

Please let us know if this helps.

Cheers, Patrick
