It does not work on me. I use the ad blocking extensios for Firefox and Chrome, so I don't need a "do-not-track" header or whatever.

Cocoon hands on: the one-shot solution to private and secure Firefox browsing (Download Squad)

DownThemAll 2 download manager released, now supports Firefox 4 (Download Squad)

Feb 1st 2011 8:05PM Down Them All adds a nice interface to FF downloads, but unfortunately under the hood it is the same defective download manager that is built into the FF core. That D/L manager suffers one terrible flaw: If a download is interrupted before it has finished, the FF download manager considers that the download has successfully completed.

I have tried several free download managers. My current favorite is "Free Download Manager". Get it free from www.freedownloadmanager.org, and use the extension Flashgot to integrate it seamlessly into Firefox.
