Saveterest 📌

A Firefox extension that enables you to download Pinterest images with ease.

---

Description 📝

This extension adds a handy download button to pinned images on Pinterest. You can locate it by hovering over a top right corner of the pinned image. It serves the same function as the download button in the context menu, but in one less click.

Quickstart guide 🚀

To run the extension you'd first need to build it. Clone the repository and run the following commands inside it's directory.

Assuming you have npm installed, install the dependencies and build:

npm install
npm run build

Now you can add it to your browser by navigating to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in your search bar. Then pressing Load Temporary Add-on... button and selecting the manifest.json file. Though, it'd only work for the current browser session. After that it gets cleared.

To make it stay permanently on vanilla Firefox you'd have to use web-ext to sign the extension and build a .xpi file. Nightly/Developer versions of Firefox on the other hand allow using even unsigned .xpi files on xpinstall.signatures.required set to false.

Intention message ⚠️

This is my very first Firefox extension and with this project I want to demonstrate how simple it is to make one. I encourage you to look through the source code of this project and learn from it.

This extension was created for educational purposes and is intended for educational use only.
