The last time I bought something from GOG, I downloaded the offline installers and queued them up using DownThemAll under Firefox 52ESR.
However, the latest version of DownThemAll does is not presented as an option when you click on the item on the website, you can only open the file or save it to a a location.

Is there any extension/addon/whatever they are called for Firefox that will make it easy to queue up and download the files for a game, along with the maps and manuals sequentially instead of in parallel (all the files are downloaded at the same time), other than watching and waiting?
I can't even seem to right-click and choose save, it just automatically starts downloading from the download page.

In the old pre-WE Firefox, that wasn't a problem, I could just choose a download manager, but now I don't get the option.

GoG's own downloader isn't an option?
Development on it has been discontinued but it should still work and do what it was made for.

Maybe not as comfortable as your "DownThemAll", but definitely worth a try.

I'm not sure if Necroing this or starting a new post is appropriate, but I just had to reformat and reinstall, and realized I forgot to save the offline installers for half the games.
Unfortunately, GoG Galaxy is going EXTREMELY slow, while downloading from the website with Firefox goes at a decent speed.

So I'd like to reiterate this question in the OP so I can just queue up all the games I need to download (including a 32gb one) before I go to bed. Hopefully it will be done in the morning.

Here, check out the following thread.

During big sales, Galaxy especially can be quite slow, often depending on where you live and the time of day. Some get it better than others some worse.
