M3U Ripper
This extension allows you to rip the contents of an m3u, wmx, or ram playlist file link by right clicking on the link and selecting the "Rip Playlist Contents..." option from the popup menu. The option will only appear if the URL ends with the proper file extension. All the URLs in the M3U file are downloaded via the Firefox download manager to the default download directory or the one specified in the M3U Ripper options. You can also optionally have M3U Ripper create a sub directory with the playlist file name, create the remote playlist file, create a local playlist file, and filter URLs within the playlist files via regular expressions.
Supported 
versions: Firefox 1.5 - 2.0.0.* ALL
Notes / Comments: I will try to add support for other playlist types in future releases.This extension is not able to rip Shoutcast/Icecast streams (like http://audio.wbez.org/tal/282.m3u). The requests expected by those types of servers have special headers which allow downloading of their content. This extension uses standard HTTP requests to retrieve files. It might be possible to send the extra header information in a future release, but the speed of those types of streams are in real time.I tested on Mac and the extension worked on a simple M3U file. Anybody having Mac issues please provide the URL to the m3u file. Currently the context menu item "Rip Playlist Contents" will only show up when you are clicking on a URL that links to a file with the .m3u or another supported file extension. On windows you must right click. On Mac you must hold the mouse button on the link until the menu displays.I've been extremely busy since developing this extension and I apologize for the lack of support...
