Automatic download extensions don't work

I use the extension 'Download Sort 2.5.8' quite a bit, specifically to download images but ever since I upgraded Firefox to version 23.0 this extension no longer works. When I right click on an image I want to save automatically and then select 'Save Image As', nothing happens. In previous version of Firefox, this worked without any problem, I'd select Save Image As and Download Sort would automatically download the image into the specific folder. I realize this extension is pretty old and hasn't been updated but this also doesn't seem to work with newer extension called Automatic Save Folder 1.0.4

Any suggestions, help? Thank you

As far as Automatic Save Folder, there is a support forum for that extension here:

Download Sort 2.5.8 is almost 5 years old, so it's not surprising that it may no longer work in Firefox 23. The support forum for that developer's extensions doesn't seem to be active any longer.

I couldn't find any other contact information for Devon Jenson.

Ok, I guess I'll follow up with the developer of ASF over there. Thanks
