My post about Automatic Save Folder, a Download Extension for Firefox.
ehhh, make it work on Linux plz D: It seems really useful but without Linux support I can't use it.

I just did it

I found why Linux was not working (there is no "Accept" boutton on Linux, only a "Close" one, so my script where not triggered correctly). I added a "save and close" button.
This is a quick fix, I will certainly change the way the data is saved in the future.


You can download it on my website : http://mangaheart.org/index.php?id_rub=divers&id_page=0003


Edit : updated this add-ons to work fine on Firefox 3.0b and how to sign it to enable future auto-update.
