I want to extend the functionality in the "view page info" window to allow for filtering of page media. This will be very useful for me and I can avoid using add-ons like 'Download all images' (slow and only works for images)

Req: Under the 'media' section, I want a 'filter' option that allows me to filter the media that matches a given regular expression. Simple ask.

There are the things I did: 1. Browsed through the add-ons to find something on "view page info". Found nothing. Even on Google. 2. Browsed through the documentation on developing extensions with the hope of developing one. I didn't find any examples on how to modify this particular window. (I am a developer myself)

Can someone point me in the right direction for this particular case ? (No generic replies please)

Please see attached screenshots of what I want.

hello, it's not possible for webextensions to modify internal browser ui elements like the view page info dialog. in terms of functionality, probably an addon like downthemall! does the job you're looking for though: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/downthemall/
