"Save as..." skipping the dialog box asking where you want to save the file?

[ericpa06]

Hi, it's me again, nagging you... XD I was wondering if is there any script or configuration that would make so that whenever you click on some context menu entry with the right mouse button to save something ("Save image as", "Save link as", "Save video as", etc..)...

I was wondering if there is any script that would skip the dialog box asking you where you want to save the file and just save it on the default folder? I always save all my documents in the same folder so it would be handy if this could be skipped somehow.. •ᴗ•

I dug around about:config and apparently there is no such option :\ There are extension that do that – sorta, such as "Just Save" but I don't find them ideal because they don't replace the default behavior and some of them seem to have problem with getting the extension of the file right, so you end up saving "videoplayback" instead of "videoplayback.mp4"

As always thank you so much for your attention and help :)

I search extension in amo, I think this extension is suitable for you but only can save images.https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-image-in-folder-ex/ Then I go through the source code of save media function (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5f1fc7348a9fb1189fe1c2139d68f928f8cfe510/browser/base/content/pageinfo/pageInfo.js#744), found that only uc scripts can implement this function. 21.08.2022, 12:46, "ericpa06" @.***>: Hi, it's me again, nagging you...

Thank you so much!!! just one last question... would it be possible to also add "Save page as..." and "Save link as" on this? 🤔

[benzBrake]

I don't know how to save page to custom directory, only can save to default download path

page([{
    insertAfter: 'context-savepage',
    'data-l10n-href': 'browserContext.ftl',
    'data-l10n-id': 'main-context-menu-page-save',
    condition: 'normal',
    oncommand: function (event) {
        saveBrowser(gContextMenu.browser, !event.shiftKey);
    }
}])
css("#context-savepage { display: none !important }");

And I have made a menutiem for save link as, but skip promt not work, or may be you can go to preferences → file and application change the extension you want to save without prompt
