Just a suggestion:

When I start a download of a single image or video, a file dialog pops up for naming it. If it's a video, "video.mp4" is prefilled as a name, and if it's an image, it's "image.jpg". I think this isn't the most practical solution, because it means I almost always have to rename the file in the dialog before saving it. I'd prefer the solution where the name is prefilled with instagram's picture GUID name, because a) it allows me to download quickly and rename later, and b) i get a warning if I already downloaded the same file, so as long as I have not renamed them I won't get duplicate files.

It often gets stuck on "please wait until download continues..."
My internet is fine and I even left it to download while streaming some shows.
Sometimes it takes a few seconds, sometimes a few minutes, most of the time it doesn't work at all.
Also, if the download completes there's always some pictures missing.

Firefox version 78.0.2 (64-bit)
Other add-ons I have currently installed:
ublock origin
duckduckgo
privacy badger
reddit enhancement
facebook container

The download button doesn't work when looking at an individual picture page or when opened from the gallery of an account. The download button that appears in the gallery thumbnails works and also the "download all" button at the top of the gallery. It is only the button to the right of the opened picture the one that doesn't work.
I can still use the button in the thumbnail to download the desired image, but when there are several images in a post, it only downloads the first image, so it is a partial workaround.

This is not exactly a bug but something that could be improved.

You have added a download button to the thumbnails of a gallery, also to the window that pops up when you click on a thumbnail, but this button does not appear when you are seeing the picture (or video, or album) in its own publication page, like this: https://www.instagram.com/p/B5I4sPegcdB/

Sometimes you receive links to a publication like this in Whatsapp, Telegram, etc. and the only way to use your add on in this case is to open the link, then go to the author's gallery, locate the picture in the thumbnails and then download it (or click on the picture if there are more than one picture in the same entry to use the button under the comments to be able to download the second and further pictures).

I think it wouldn't be too difficult to add the button to the publication pages since most of the code needed is the same as the current button under the comments.

Just downloaded the extension. I like the placement of download buttons, very handy.

A thing that does not work for me are story downloads. I can see the download icon, but when I click on it, nothing happens. Windows / Firefox 67.

Directly download the pictures like here

Hey, I really enjoy you extension I've installed on firefox on Mac
but i'm having problems when I try to download all the pictures of a profile

I just click the " download all " button and did not start to downloading

I hope your answer, thanks in advance

Hello,

For story with music, Instagram create a mini video.mp4 with the still image.
I prefer to download the still image from the preview with is sometime better quality and less size than the .mp4
With Firefox I do that with +I > Media to find the Video and the still image

It can be cool to make this download available with an other button.
And/or with a setting in the plug-in option : "Download Video : only MP4 / only JPG / MP4 + JPG"

Thanks for your great work on this plug-in
Best Regards,
David

If I click this button on an Instagram account, will the add-on immediately download hundreds of images into the root of my download folder, or will it create a subfolder first?

At the moment there is no Option to download posts with multible images.
Add a else if (GraphSidecar) to the createLink method

When a post has multiple pictures/videos, one (perhaps more for some posts) doesn't download. For example, for this post https://www.instagram.com/p/B9GNUzdnTDL/ picture #5 isn't downloading, instead, it redownloads picture #1.

When there is a multi-post (eg., multiple photos posted as a group with the white multi-post icon in the upper right corner), the downloaded file for the first item posted is named correctly (the numeric portion of the filename is unique) but the second and third photos download a second and third copy of the first photo (with the same filename). I did see one instance where there were 5 photos posted, I downloaded the first and second items (they downloaded with the same name) then the 4th one which had a different name. I also had one with 4 photos. The first 3 downloaded with the same name and the 4th was a different filename.

The behavior is not consistent as I also saw a post with 7 items, the first two duplicated but the remaining items had unique names. Not sure exactly what is going on. If I use Firefox Inspector, the links display each photo with a unique name.

As of February 18, 2020, Instagram Downloader 2.2.6 for Firefox no longer downloads any media from Instagram. There are multiple reports of this from the add-on's review page. The download button does appear, but is non-functional. In my case, this is on Firefox Android 68.5.0, running on a stock, unrooted Moto G7 running Android 9 Pie patched through the December 2019 patch (current for a stock Moto G7). I did try uninstalling and reinstalling the add-on, but nothing changed.

It would be really helpful if the generated filename for downloads included the full profile name (including special characters) before the GUID. eg: _cs_utah instead of csutah.

Clicking on stories there's no arrow to download them, probably instagram changed again things

Hello, i'm on firefox 74.0 Windows 10 64 bit (10.0.18362) and when i open instagram.com i see the download button only on the first post, i restarted firefox refreshed the page but nothing changes. My version of the extension is 2.3.2 maybe something with the update? Also download button works flawlessy in specific page (multiple posts and single one) Thank you in advance

After downloading all images from a page, it opened a new tab starting with blob:moz-extension://0298ced2-b18e-3f48-... but It shows invalid url and nothing downloads

Things that have to be done

Files:

• main.js
• button.js
• download.js
• downloadHomePage.js
• downloadStory.js
• hoverable.js
• profilePicture.js
• downloadAll.js

Topics:

• Fix story download Bug
• Public and private methods (no satisfying way to do this in JS)
• Chrome support
• XHTTP in background (not necessary as the extension only start a XHTTP request in download all)
• Constant variables for CSS Classes

• Remove unnecessary xhttp requests
• Make certain variables constant
• Public and private methods
• Make the main.js clearer

I believe it helps in download time, I believe that many are not interested in videos.

Nothing happens when click download icon. Latest firefox version on windows. Was working yesterday.
