JZ Downloader Firefox

JZ Downloader

JZ Downloader is a compact all-in-one downloader for direct links, torrents, debrid providers, and live non-DRM media capture.

Features & Capabilities

JZ Downloader is a compact, Firefox-first download manager for direct links, provider-backed torrents, and live non-DRM media capture.

It is designed to feel like a lightweight “all downloader” inside Firefox: paste a link, inspect what is available, choose what you want, and send it either to Firefox, to your connected debrid provider, or to Media Sieve’s capture workflow.

Key features:

  • Clean download queue for HTTP/HTTPS links, magnet links, and .torrent files.
  • Real-Debrid support using your own API key.
  • TorBox support using your own API key.
  • Provider cache checks for magnets and torrents.
  • Torrent file selection when supported by the connected provider.
  • Provider polling until files are ready.
  • Provider Library tab for browsing downloads already available in your Real-Debrid or TorBox account.
  • Direct browser downloads for ready provider links.
  • Media Sieve for discovering downloadable, non-DRM media from the active tab.
  • HLS playlist detection and assembly for compatible non-encrypted .m3u8 streams.
  • Cleaner media capture results that hide noisy stream fragments such as .m4s and .ts.
  • Desktop popup window interface with a minimal queue, Sieve, Library, and Settings workflow.
  • Firefox Android support with a dedicated JZ handoff page for prepared blob downloads.
  • Local API key storage with a Settings button to clear saved provider keys.
  • Optional WebTorrent fallback for browser-compatible torrents.
Torrent support note:

Firefox extensions cannot run a full classic BitTorrent engine in the browser. Without Real-Debrid or TorBox, torrent support is limited to WebTorrent/WebRTC-compatible torrents and web seeds. Most ordinary public torrents are seeded by classic TCP/UDP BitTorrent clients, which browser WebTorrent cannot reliably reach.

For reliable torrent and magnet handling, connect your own Real-Debrid or TorBox account. When a provider is enabled, JZ Downloader can send magnets or torrent files to that provider, check whether the content is already cached, queue supported uncached items, poll provider progress, and return ready download links.

Media Sieve note:

Media Sieve is intended for visible, non-DRM media that the active tab is already allowed to load. It does not bypass DRM, paid access, encryption, or site restrictions. Some streaming sites use protected, signed, fragmented, or expiring media URLs that cannot be converted into a stable direct download.

Privacy and accounts:

JZ Downloader does not include any shared provider account, bundled API key, analytics, advertising, or developer-operated download service. Each user connects their own provider account if they want provider-backed downloads. Provider API keys are stored locally in Firefox extension storage and can be cleared from Settings.

JZ Downloader is open-source friendly, minimal, and built for users who want a practical Firefox download workflow without a heavyweight external application.

Is JZ Downloader 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.

JZ Downloader requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.

JZ Downloader is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
