A heads-up about the official Mega add-on for Firefox (I use the PaleMoon derivative): it's given itself the power to delete downloaded files without asking permission to do so.

I downloaded files individually from a folder and verified them as downloaded, but they were instantly deleted upon hitting Mega's transfer quota (which is pretty random when you've got a dynamic IP).

I don't use the Firefox Mega extension anymore.You are better off saving the files to a free Mega account.Then you don't need the extension anymore.

Be careful, when the original folder you imported content from is taken down all the import links get taken down too.

There are plenty of disposable email addresses out there, to open the mega account with, if you don'want to use your own.
