Review summary

Users praise Save In… for reliably saving to the Downloads folder, routing to many custom folders with quick access, and saving time. However, repeated issues include compatibility breakage across Firefox updates and site-specific problems (Instagram, Twitter, etc.), unreliability in file extension handling, and features that dont work outside the context menu. The UI path-management can be tedious and has a learning curve, and the documentation is lacking. Overall, it highly valued by power users when it works, but many reports indicate ongoing reliability problems and usability gaps.

Pros

Saves to the Downloads folder by default, solving the common "+Save As…" location issue.
Allows saving to many folders via the context menu and hotkeys, enabling fast, organized saving.
Generally reliable and improves the saving workflow; users report ys it cks 'just works'.
Offers flexible filename/extension handling and customizable routing (including site-specific workarounds).
Highly recommended by power users who need multi-folder saves and quick access.

Cons

Compatibility issues and breakage after Firefox updates or on certain sites (e.g., Instagram, Twitter; not working on v136.0).
Core features like saving by file extension can be broken or produce incorrect extensions.
Partial functionality: some features are only accessible via the context menu; the UI/path-management can be tedious and has a learning curve.
Documentation is sparse or missing, making setup and troubleshooting harder.

2024-09-08	BI*****	I went looking for something like this. The default "save as..." always defaults to the last place I saved something which I too often just hit the enter key on and then go searching for the file. This solves that problem. I'm not using any of the fancy routing/renaming or other features. Just defaulting to Downloads is all I wanted.

2023-12-10	Fi*****	Works flawlessly on most images, some sites have bad coding coughtwittercough and you need ot manually force the extension to set its extension, but the extension itself makes it extremely easy to customize. 10/10 as long as you are competent and willing to spend 20 minutes learning how it works.
