I use a FF downloader quite a bit and I won't change FF version unless it upgrade to be compatible to Quantum or there's a FF alternative to it, or there's some other software that make it very easy to download a page links or content; the downloader in question is DownThemAll ( http://downthemall.net/ ). Perhaps someone can point me at an easy-to-use alternate.

Do you try to work with plugin developpers so you won't get something out unless a portion of them migrate too? Perhaps the most popular or/and highest rated ones. If you leave behind a significant part of users because they won't accept loosing the plugin, perhaps it's not such a good move.

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Flash Player Version: Version 27.0.0.183

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Direct link scans current system and browser Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only> +++++++++++++++++++ See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

Here are your choices; 1) Contact its support and ask if they will update 2) Find a replacement 3) Downgrade to a prior Firefox 4) Do without

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

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org It is a powerful modern download accelerator and organizer for Windows and Mac.

The DownThemAll is a Extension as the word Plugins refer to say Flash Player, Java, Silverlight etc.

The DTA author has been working on a DownThemAll Lite version and only more recently even though he knew the change to web extensions was coming for a long time. http://www.downthemall.net/delays/
