- Pilfer, Firefox Image Browser For Numbered Images – Pilfer is a handy Firefox extension for displaying (or leeching, really) additional images in a folder on a site by scanning a specific range. If you find the image DCS0001.jpg you could for instance make it scan the next 50, 500 or even 5000 numbers for additional images. The extension would then scan from DSC0002.jpg to DSC5001.jpg if 5000 would be selected as the range.
