Leech add-on for Mozilla. If you have ever wanted a quick way to download all the files (images, video clips, zip archives, etc.) from a single page, then the leech add-on is for you.
Who says open source can’t innovate?
Also, Mozilla 1.2 beta is out, and it runs much faster than previous builds on Mac OS X 10.2, which itself is much faster than running Mozilla on previous versions of Mac OS X. (I think I followed that.) Anyway, Mozilla 1.2 beta (on all platforms) features Type-Ahead Find. You can start typing link text and Mozilla will find a link that matches and put focus on it; then you can hit ENTER to follow the link or F3 to jump to the next match. Excellent for fast typists who hate using the mouse, or people who have difficulty using a mouse.
Purists will note that incremental search was not invented by the open source Mozilla hackers, or even by Netscape Corporation engineers. (They were the first to adapt the idea to link navigation in a browser though. And yes, I’ve used Opera 6’s find-in-page, and it’s different. Both features are innovative, but different.) Meanwhile, GNU/Emacs has had incremental search for decades. Everything old is new again.
