README.md

samoware-multisave

A very-special-use-case Firefox extension.

Installation

You can't install samoware-multisave as a regular browser extension (it is not signed by Mozilla). Load it as a temporary extension instead:

Visit the special Firefox page about:degugging
Click "This Firefox"
Click "Load Temporary Add-on …"
Pick the file manifest.json inside the extension's project directory. (Actually, you can use any file from the same dir.)

samoware-multisave must be reloaded every time Firefox is started.

Usage

The extension button appears only when browsing a specific domain, and only when a single email is displayed. The extension will download all attachments into the same directory and prefix their filenames with the current date.

Click the button to open a file dialog. Here you can choose the directory you want all attachments to be downloaded into. Click OK. That's it.

Known bugs

Does not work with Flatpak Firefox (temporary extensions can't seem to be loaded due to this bug). Use Firefox from Snap instead (sudo snap install firefox).
