Since the latest update, I can no longer us Batch Download. When I attempt to download all the photos, I get this error message:

"Error occured while downloading files. Maybe file name has forbidden characters, or download folder does not exist."

Until this last update, this addon worked perfectly.

If you would consider trying other extensions, here is one called Save Images that was updated last week:

There is an image downloader named Image Picker that also stopped working in Firefox 36. In one of the reviews, a user posted steps to change one line in the code to fix it. Perhaps a similar fix could be made to BatchDownload?

There was a change of some kind of Firefox 36 that affects downloaders. I don't know what it was. By now many popular video downloaders have been updated. I don't know whether an update is planned for BatchDownload.
