Noté 5 sur 5
par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 14072894 de Firefox, il y a 8 ansThis extension is good positioned at what features Firefox Quantum lacked, and I'm attracted by this through its icon, name and description. It has a nice idea that's just what I want. But there's still much room for improvement, so I have some advice:
1. Show downloads in sidebar view rather than popover view. Just in my option, this extension should be an enhancement to the default one, thus it's better that it could be used more natively.
There's another extension called Downloads sidebar to do this, it's FREE Licensed too. Don't know if you could merge it into this extension.

Firefox Quantum just right lacks default downloads sidebar, so a multi-thread downloader, shows downloads in a native way, it would be perfect!
2. WebExtensions should be able to save files without prompt save location, cause if you click export button in extension SwitchyOmega, a proxy config tool, its backup file just be quietly downloaded in my default download folder.
(Windows 10 1803, Firefox Developer Edition 62.0b12 (64bit))
and a Feature Request:
make download items it remembered can be resumed from download page links, then continued from where it stopped, in case download failed.
and thanks for your nice work!

About the feature request:
Yeah, exactly, just like the IDM's one. Don't know if it's hard to implement.

Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 8 ans1. Adding a sidebar is possible, and I just need to tweak the UI so it fits the narrow space.
However, the sidebar will be automatically opened by Firefox whenever the extension is installed or updated, before Firefox 62 [1]. I think this is very annoying for some users (including me), so it may be better to wait until Firefox 62 is released (2018-09-05).
This issue has also caused uBlock Origin to temporarily remove its sidebar.
2. You can change the option "Save files to" to "Download folder". Only this folder can be written quietly by extensions.
About the feature request:
What do you mean by "resumed from download page links"? Currently if a download task fails, it will show the "fail" icon, and you can double-click the task to resume.

- Noté 3 sur 5par Kurt, il y a un anIt works, but... there's no way to use custom download locations, because /Downloads (my default location on Firefox under Debian Linux always is chosen.
That's a bad habit, because very often I use custom storage locations like USB HD's and especially bigger downloads put a high load unnecessarily on my SSD, which otherwise could be re-assigned completely.
Furthermore this AddOn seems to be dead, as there was no update since 2 full years... and there are numerous open tickets visible.
To clarify: I will re-edit this review in _ a n y _ case (dead or alive) and will downgrade it in case of a dead project and no response, so that it becomes at least obvious, that one should consider to remove this more and more function-wise dying thing from Firefox. - Noté 5 sur 5par Grant, il y a un anExcellent! It would be even better with an icon for the new Firefox sidebar :)

- Noté 4 sur 5par turgut kalfaoglu, il y a 2 ansIt's good but fails for very large files, ie 20GB or more. After the download, firefox starts saving it, but it gets stuck halfway.
