DownZemAll! is a rewrite of the legacy software DownThemAll! which was
an extension for Mozilla Firefox, but whose development stopped around
2016, when Mozilla Firefox migrated to WebExtensions.

DownZemAll! is a standalone download manager for Windows, MacOS and
Linux.

It aims to work with latest versions of Mozilla Firefox (powered by
WebExtensions), and other web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari...).

DownZemAll! is written in C++ and based on the Qt5 framework.

Looks like the old extension has been ported to WebExtension:

posts made from Google Groups and cross-posted (sent to more than one
newsgroup at a time) messages. I recommend you do likewise.

Albeit with problems:

"Please note: Version 4 of DownThemAll! is.a complete rewrite as a
WebExtension, as the old add-on system was abandoned and disabled in
Firefox. This was mozilla's decision, and there is nothing we can do
about it. We are therefore limited to the tools the WebExtensions model
provides to us, which sadly makes it impossible to provide some of the
advanced features of DownThemAll! Version 3. Furthermore there are some
bugs in Firefox that affect DownThemAll! as well, e.g. downloads will
always succeed even if the server returns an error, but I fixed this in
upcoming Firefox 71.
However, we're still able to provide the advanced selection, queuing,
file naming options of the old DownThemAll! and a lot more."

Not something I want or need but good to know free software is still being
produced.
Thanks for posting.
