Is there a downloader extension for Firefox? The sort of thing I would
use it for is to download files that are links on a webpage. Typically
these might be large mov files. Currently, I have to right-click on the
link and select Copy Link Location. I then paste this link into LeechGet
to download the files. I'm wondering if Firefox has a utility so that I
can do it all in a oner.
Have a look at WebCow:

2.1 What is Webcow ?
--------------------
Webcow is a small and handy tool to get the links out of directory
listings or webpages. It was first created to get all files of an
Apache* directory listing. Within the development, I was asked for
publishing and improvements, some errorfixing options and file-filters
were added.

2.2 Why Webcow ?
----------------
It really saves your time
. Instead of clicking each link on a page
from top to the button or 'rightclick save as' or whatever, Webcow
just does it. I use it for all my personal needs.
The following features are supported by Webcow:
- http, https, password protected sites & ftp
- http redirects
- selectable user-agent
- referer (the get-textbox is used for this)
- proxy settings (taken from windows internet settings or your own
settings)
- cookies
- export to download manager via clipboard or file like NetVampire or
DAP.
- integration into internet explorer context-menu.
- much more
