New FonferaDownloader Firefox extension release
Hi
There’s a new FoneraDownloader extension release for Firefox. In this release we have included these new features and enhancements:
- Add a preferences option to indicate the use of the plugin from WAN. (No more workarounds in user/password settings. You still need to reach transmission (9091) & luci (80) ports from wan as before).
- Fixes in transmission’s session error handling (thanks to cyrusFF).
- Change information icon to green.
- Small information tooltip in torrents icon with more download stats (upload/download rate/peers).
- Icon and separator in context menu so it’s easier to visualize download action.
- Force username to “fonero” to avoid authentication problems with previous installations of the plugin.
- Show error messages in the download window as well as in the statusbar.
- Order downloads, in progress first.
- Selected text (with downloadable links) has a higher priority than html links.
- bugfixes and some performance fixes.
You can get it from here:

very nice…i’m running it allready for a week and it works great :-)
I hope aMule is added soon to Fon as well …
perhaps an idea for v22?
check out what Openwrt does with it?

it’s a very small enhancement as your downloader is allready connected… so we can see up/download of WAN interface instead of just “fonera downloads” :-)

I have a problem. The add-on doesn’t work (Message: “Cannot reach your fonera”) and every 2 minutes a popup appears with the error on the certificate (sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

Hi
This error has already been reported in our user’s forum:
http://boards.fon.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=6127
I’ll copy the solution for future reference:
Log into the fonera via https (in your case):
https://192.168.1.0.1:443/luci
Then an error should appear saying that the site has a self-signed certificate and should ask you if you understand the risks and add an exception.
you can access your certificates by clicking:
edit > preferences > advanced > view certificates
Hope that helps!
