Wurdearring: 4 fan 5
troch Firefox-brûker 6001196, 8 jierren lynThe best replacement for "Download Manager (S3)" that I've found so far, first of all I'd like to thank the developer for his/her hard work doing this for free for all of us to enjoy! :)
It does need some polishing, so if you could consider my suggestions I would appreciate it:
1) As many have said, the bar is too thick right now. It gets even thicker when downloading many files at once. Also, it changes size when you zoom in our out in a tab. And when you change to another tab, the bar either disappears or changes size according to the zoom level of each tab.
Please fix this making the bar size smaller, not dependent on each tab's size, and visible in all tabs/browser.
2) I'd also like if you could add some more info, like file icons, download speed, percentage... And that you could choose what info to show.
3) Add an option to "retry" when a download fails.
4) Add auto-clear option.
5) Add option to change color. Maybe even to the Firefox theme you are using.
6) Sometimes a download does not appear on the download bar for some reason (but it does appear on Firefox download history). Looks like a bug.

2) Download speed is in the beta, other stuff is in the tooltip but could be added to the bar in the future.
3) Might be possible, I'll have to look at the API
4) There is already an option to auto clear downloads after a certain amount of time.
5) I'll probably add more themes, and customization in the future
6) If seen this, but I haven't been able to reproduce it consistently to fix it, I'm not sure if it is a bug in the addon or Firefox.

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Sopor, ien jier lynIt seems that every Download status bar extension is out-of-date. Sad that they all are broken in different ways. 😥
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Iantuition, ien jier lynNearly useless - having to first double-click the download in the status bar to open the download, then click "open download" in ANOTHER pop-up window (which often doesn't even come into focus, so the user has to find it) is more time consuming than simply opening the download window and opening the file from there. Uninstalled.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Rob, 2 jierren lynHow to stop it from opening a window to confirm I want to open a download please for the love of god this is so annoying.
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch rado84, 2 jierren lynDoesn't work at all, totally useless! The "status bar" won't even show up when a download starts.

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Onyx, 2 jierren lynExcellent plugin. And love the latest (Mar 31, 2024) customization features! Amazing.
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Herman Blume, 2 jierren lynIt's good, and it's really, really close to being perfect. Just wish there was an option to click the downloaded file and automatically open it.

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Cam, 3 jierren lynOf the few download statusbar addons, this is the "best" one, but it's still obnoxious how double-clicking the download opens a separate "open file" window instead of just, you know... opening the file?

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Miyako Jones, 4 jierren lynI wished it worked like Chrome and, sometimes, it's impossible to close the bar without restarting Firefox.

- Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Dorraj, 5 jierren lynIt is WAY more useful than the built in Firefox download manager, but I wish I could click it to open and I wish you could queue to open files when done downloading. Also the clear button being on the left is odd to me.
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Umpahpah, 5 jierren lynUseful tool, perhaps some design is needed (too large when page size is change, but overall qute good
- Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 11050938, 5 jierren lynYep. It needs single-click opening -- better yet, an "open when done" function. And a smaller footprint, at least as an option.
