Firefox Image Batch Downloader

It is not that easy to download all images from a page with many images in Firefox. It would be possible to use a download manager or wget to get all the images but this would mean that you would have to rely on external tools and know how to use them. A far easier method is to use the Firefox extension Batch Downloader. It does exactly what the name suggests, it downloads all images that have a resolution of 200×200 or more in one batch to your hard drive.

The minimum resolution can be changed to whatever values you deem appropriate.  Whenever you visit a page with images you can use the right-click option to batch download (all) images on that website to a location on your hard drive that you can specify afterwards. The Batch Downloader offers more than that though. You can specify a base url and use wildcards to download all images that are connected to the base url.

Some websites use formats that are not immediately recognized by batch downloader. This is mostly the case when a scripting language such as php is used to display images. You need to create a gallery using the batch downloader extension first and download the pictures using the normal batch download images option from the right-click menu afterwards.

    Looks like a dead link to me…

  3. Stephen says:

    I guess the porn thing got it off the web from downloading…

  4. Martin says:

    Well it has nothing to do with the extension at all. Mozilla decided to release a new website and only 153 extensions are available on it. Everything else is not there anymore..

  5. TBIRD7777 says:

    So your point would be Martin, “What were they Thinking” and Stay Tuned OR What?????

  6. Martin says:

    I don’t have anymore information than you do at this point. Would wait and see how this progresses.

  7. andi says:

    no, not for porn. just for galleries – mainly from meetings. people don’t send cd’s any more, so how do you get all the pics?

    Thanks Martin, I’ll give it a try, and NOT for porn.
