hello,

My school uploaded lots of video files on a webpage, and the only option i found to download them is to click on every video and then save it manually.

i was looking for a variant to click on the link of the video, and then the browser would ask me what to do with it, and i would choose download, like in other file formats, but instead it plays in online.

i found in about:config an option to stop the autoplay, but i really need to create an association for the file and set it to download.

can you please help me?

Start the clip. Start the download. Then go on to the next clip when the download starts.

Sajjad, thank you for your suggestion! that specific add on is no longer supported, but your idea is good, i will use a download manager, and input all the links.

Regards!

This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.
