Help with wget
#4
How does send.firefox.com work? You get a link to a page, and once that page loads, there's a button to click to actually download the file?

If that's the case, you can use beautifulsoup to scrape for that link, and download it. Or you could try using wget with the -r parameter (recursive, so it downloads anything that's linked to that page). https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual...e-Download

But recursive mode (I think) only works with links. So if send.firefox.com doesn't use a link, and instead uses a button+javascript, you'd need to scrape the page to find the actual url.
