Will there be updates for this version?

I understand, that with the WebExtension out, it will be the primary focus, but will this be receiving any updates in the meantime?

Someone made a desktop version that's very close: https://github.com/setvisible/DownZemAll

P.S. I'm not affiliated with it.

I maintain a fork of my own:
https://github.com/minch-dev/DownTheMoon
It works alongside original extension without conflicts

Thanks @minch-dev Can't get it to work in the latest Waterfox G6.0.7 macOS right away. Will test more once I have time, and if the issue persists, would open an issue over at your DownTheMoon page.

BTW, this is the DownThemAll (legacy) build by @xelsios that works in WF G6.x. Obviously he knows the relevant code.

Last time I checked Waterfox removed XUL and XPCOM, so it's not expected to work. Latest available Waterfox Classic works fine though (just checked).

I'm not really sure how @xelsios made his build work, need to look into it.

Okay, so this build from @xelsios is based on web extensions version of DownThemAll - it's a completely different addon, not "downthemall-legacy", which is XUL based. He has somehow found a way to make timestamps work, even though the framework (XPCOM) that originally provided this functionality was removed. Pretty cool, but I'm already 60 commits into updating this version, so naturally I'll continue to maintain it.

ah OK, thanks for the clarification - I had no idea xelsios's build is web extensions based. Great you're continuing work on this legacy version 👍
