Download with JDownloader: Firefox Add-On for Smoother Downloads
"Download with JDownloader" is a Firefox extension that directs download links to JDownloader, a Java-based download manager. It offers two modes of operation: sending download jobs via the right-click context menu and redirecting download requests from the built-in browser manager to JDownloader. It requires a native client to communicate with JDownloader and can function without it if JDownloader is running in the background.
