The usefulness of this extension has certainly not gone unnoticed (just read all the reviews), but it drags on browsing performance more so than any other add-on that I use (and I use a lot of'em). Considering what it does, the drag is worth it... but, completely unnecessary most of the time. Since FlashGot is one of those tools that you only need sometimes (but indispensable, when it is needed), I think the most useful option needed on it's future "Todo List" is to be able to disable and then re-enable it followed by a page refresh "without having to restart the browser". Even just a partial disable should improve surfing performance, if a full disable isn't possible without requiring a restart. Considering Firefox is noticeably less stable, than it's Chromium counter-part (*ducks rotten fruit being thrown*), this needs to be a top priority.
