User Reviews

Users praise the add-on for fast bulk downloads and good performance on some sites (YouTube, FTP). The main recurring complaints are inconsistent site support and failures on streaming pages; UI/display problems (small or missing popups, needs lots of space); and file-handling bugs (save-path/destination confusion, filename/charset issues, and crashes on duplicate names). Usability and settings are also frequently criticized.

Pros

Efficient bulk downloading — saves time when grabbing many files (PDFs, ringtones, large batches).
Works well on certain sites (several users report success with YouTube and FTP pages).
Handles large batches of files and reduces one-by-one downloading effort.

Cons

Inconsistent site support — fails on many pages and does not handle streaming media reliably.
UI/display problems — popup can be too small, clipped or require large space; some users report the popup not appearing on Mac.
File-handling and save-location bugs — confusing save-path errors, inability to reliably change destination, issues with filenames (multiple periods), non‑ASCII characters, and crashes on duplicate filenames.
Usability problems — settings can be cryptic or read-only and the add-on is not always intuitive.

Is Download Links Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Download Links requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Allows management of download operations but generally doesn't severely affect security unless misused.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Download Links has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
