How to download Facebook albums easily in Firefox

Facebook.com is the most popular social media site that connects people and allows them to upload photos, videos and share links. It is currently the second most visited site in the world (just behind Google) and the best and number 1 social networking site worldwide. Launched in 2004, it has quickly grown through the years and has now over one billion active users around the globe with the reputation as the most used social networking service in the world.

Not easy to download albums within Facebook interface

Behind the success of Facebook, are the account holders, its own users. It is fairly easy to upload your pictures and videos in Facebook, however, it is a pain and grief to download your own photos and videos that belong to you. The old fashion way of saving photos in your computer is the Right-click > Save image as procedure. This method is time-consuming and very labor intensive. The process allows you to save only one image at a time. What if a user has albums with hundreds of photos in each album? It will take you forever to download them all! What a shame. This is something that Facebook staff, developers and programmers have to work on and improve upon. Remember that it is the users that made Facebook the best photo-sharing site so Facebook must also provide an easy way to download a group of pictures in a user's album. Because the pictures are the users' own property, Facebook must provide a convenient and easy way to download Facebook albums. Sadly, this is not the case.

Ways to download Facebook albums

There are a few methods how to download your albums from Facebook. One way is register to a site, login and then find your photos and download (Pick and Zip). Some site offers applications for photo downloading but at the same time include a toolbar coupled with numerous annoying offers (fbDownloader). Other sites allow you to create photo book and download features (Blurb). This is extra work.

Best way to download Facebook albums

Among the options mentioned above, the easiest way to download facebook albums is through your browser. There was a Firefox plugin called FacePAD which allows one-click download of Facebook albums. Unfortunately, it is now unavailable because it has been removed by the author. The good news is, there is a better and easier alternative, the facepaste Firefox addon. The best of all, is that it is free, easy and it is through a Firefox browser plug-in. This means you don't have to register to a site and create another user account, no malicious and deceptive toolbars, no annoying software or advertisements which often install suspicious programs in your computer, a frustrating waste of time, effort, space and computer resource.

How to install facepaste Firefox plugin (Facebook album downloader):

a. Open Firefox internet browser.

b. Go to Tools > Add-ons > On the search bar, type facepaste.

c. Install facepaste. This awesome and powerful Firefox browser addon by Delan Azabani is simply the best, fastest and easiest Facebook album downloader.

d. Restart Firefox.

e. Login to your Facebook.com account.

How to download single albums in Facebook using facepaste Firefox plug-in:

1. Open the album you want to download in Facebook.

2. Right click on any picture on the album.

3. Select Download Facebook album(s).

4. On the Albums white box, click on the album you want to download.

5. On the Options, Save Photos to, click the ? button and select which folder in your computer you want your photos or videos to be downloaded.

6. Select the Output file naming of your pictures.

How to block an ip address in your router

This is an example of blocking a device from accessing an ip address so that it can not download information from a specific ip address from the internet. I have a WD LIVE TV streaming media player and it is popping up to update to a firmware, however, after reading from the WD support forums, numerous users complained of so many problems after the firmware update. Most of them have to revert back to the original firmware. To prevent the message from prompting to the device or your smart TV, the ip address of support.wdc.com must be blocked in your router. Here is the procedure below:

How to block an ip address in your router:

1. Start
2. Run
3. cmd
4. OK
5. In the command prompt, type the following:
   ping support.wdc.com
6. Note the ip address 129.253.55.56
7. Open internet browser
8. Type 192.168.0.1
9. Press Enter
10. Login to your router
11. Enter your admin password
12. Go to Firewall (or Security) depends on the brand of your network router
13. Click Access Control (or Filter) depends on the brand of your home router
14. On Customer Defined Filtering Table, Add 129.253.55.56

    For HTTP: (port 80)
    Name: support.wdc.com
    Type: TCP/UDP
    LAN IPs: single address
    Start IP: 129.253.55.56
    From port: 80
    To port: 80
    Apply

    For HTTPS: (port 443)
    Name: 443support.wdc.com
    Type: TCP/UDP
    LAN IPs: single address
    Start IP: 129.253.55.56
    From port: 443
    To port: 443
    Apply

    Do the same instructions and steps with the other Western Digital ip address 129.253.170.35

14a. On Firewall > URL Blocking:
     Put a check mark on Enable Keyword Blocking
     On Keyword/Domain name, press ADD KEYWORD and type the following keywords:
        support.wdc.com
        http://support.wdc.com
        https://support.wdc.com
        129.253.55.56
        129.253.170.35
        http://129.253.55.56
        https://129.253.55.56
        http://129.253.170.35
        https://129.253.170.35

        Click Apply

After doing all the steps above, you should see the two ip addresses BLOCKED. To check this, open an internet browser and type:

support.wdc.com

your browser should provide a message saying:

This page has been blocked based on your settings
To continue browsing, either use your back button or enter a new web address

The blocked page:

http://support.wdc.com/

matches the following signature:

support.wdc.com


The router will block support.wdc.com so that your TV and the WD TV LIVE will not update with the new firmware software.

How to disable Skype Update prompts on startup

Skype is one of the best free video calling program, no doubt about it, tried, tested and proven through the years, being used by millions all over the world to communicate with loved ones. Because of this popularity, the developers of Skype are taking advantage of the people. One serious complaint by millions of users is the Skype update right after start up. This is so VERY ANNOYING & FRUSTRATING. Don't bother people on updates! To make it worse, the program has no way of setting up to disable prompting auto-update notifications in its Tools, Options, or Preferences. This is real nightmare to pop up updates everytime!

The solution to this problem is not within the program, what a shame. To stop this update popup, disable it in Windows services.

How to disable Skype Update service:
1. Click Start
2. Run
3. Type services.msc
4. Find SKYPE UPDATER
5. Right click Skype Updater
6. Properties
7. Startup type
8. Disabled
