I remember this addon from years long ago. I normally use other linux tools today but i have been trying to get a download while on a live disc and even though i changed the directory to a hard drive the temp files must be going to the drive / actually system memory and then i run out of space or the file becomes corrupt. The addon used to be a thousand times better but Firefox limited everything add-ons can do. only fix is go back to xpi firefox / fork called waterfox. anyway i still can't get a file downloaded to my hard drive. not sure where temp is going. i am thinking about downloading an extra copy of firefox and running it off my other drive and if that doesn't work i will have to find out how to move my linux temp directory to the other drive while on a live os without persistence. I am using Linux mint 22.3 and yt-dlp nightly failed me this time. first your blocked by the cloudflare challenge but i found a way around that passing my cookie and useragent but the website ended up not being supported after i passed that part. those websites that download from sites for you are all broken. If i could grab everything from firefox cache then mux it all together with ffmpeg this would be easier but to have enough space i will have to run firefox off an actual drive instead of the default one in the live environment .

What is wrong is normal downloads puts the temp file in the folder you selected to download to and this app doesn't do that and it should.

At first i tried save as. Yeah it just downloads to come cache or temp off the main disc that is actually in my system memory because of my live linux. The temp files should be in the same folder where the file downloads to even if that means adding a temp folder in that folder. This addon is borked until that is fixed. This addon was great in the xpi days. No way to get a file unless the file goes to my drive with space large enough for the file.
