- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14247129, 6 years agoAlmost perfect. But lacks drag and drop function. I wish I could drag one download of a picture I just made and drop it on 4chan or WhatsApp web.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14239789, 6 years agoThis extension is great but I'd like to see a slider to adjust the height ('cause the enormous chrome-like height is just not sitting well with me, it's a distraction ^^). Nonetheless great work !
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13586117, 6 years agoSo close to the original DSB ??? Must be a joke.
The 'autohide after download' function does not stay, even the defaulted 'autohide of everything when not specified' doesn't work.
The downloads are by default routed to to the download folder, without any possibility to get the usual "last selected location" behaviour.
Colors for the very obtrusive bars are not selectable.
And this is called by some trolls here as "so close" ?
Got rid of this add-on. Don't let yourself be fooled. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14152112, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Phylis, 6 years agoAbsolutely Fabulous! So close to Download Status Bar.
btw, there is an arrow on the right side that allows you to hide it if you need to see web content.
2 things:
The 'Light' option is still quite dark (green).
Completion Sound: Is there a default sound? Can't here any. When I load a .wav file, there is a red X beside it. Does that mean .wav doesn't work? If so, what file types for sound? - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14126351, 6 years agoThe size of the status bar increase when you increase the webpage zoom, so if you are in a website with a zoom of 150% then you end getting a big, biiiiiig status bar... too bad.
Another bad thing is that the colors are not personalizable via the settings window, it has a light and dark theme but dark theme is horrible, its just black background and black downloads, everything black... it should be black background and green downloads at least, or make the colors personalizable.
And of course the major problem that people already commented is that the status bar covers content of the webpage.
Anyways this is a nice addon for those who needs something similar to the legendary Download Status Bar for Firefox legacy. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14050074, 6 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13742559, 6 years agoWorked relatively ok until this week's Firefox update. Now it doesn't work anymore.
When you fix it, I'll change my review.
On top of fixing it back to what it was prior to the last FF update, please make it so that the bar doesn't hide the bottom of the page (make it below the window content, not on top of the bottom of the window content). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14023879, 6 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13983075, 6 years agoMinor requests:
Many web-pages, at least the ones I use, have some information at the very bottom, some even certain function and link buttons.
WX download status bar covers them thus making them not visible or inaccessible.
Could WX download status bar be coded in such a way that it becomes a bottom toolbar so that in between the upper and lower tool/menu/bookmark bars a web-page is fully displayed respectively scrolled?
Thanks!Developer response
posted 6 years agoThis won't be possible until a toolbar API is added to Firefox, which I know is planned, but might not happen for awhile. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dziad Borowy, 6 years agoBrilliant. As much as I dislike chrome, this is one of the things that they did right. Firefox built-in toolbar icon is just not visible enough when a download starts.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Hans, 6 years agoOn Download-Failure:
Klick
Should offer to
go to Download-Page
or
Restart Downdload - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12405624, 6 years agoPlease add volume control to the sound of the end of the load.
- Rated 3 out of 5by jowwww, 6 years agoSolme URL show in taskbar would be appreciated as DL not as important as URL
- Rated 4 out of 5by Tortino, 6 years agoGood extension to monitor how your downloads are progressing.
I'd like a new option to automatically clear a download when I double click on it, and it is opened the parent folder. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13924825, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by wachak, 6 years agocan you add rename functionality in next version please. i download pdf files and they need to be renamed. adding ability to rename right from the status bar will save me hassles going to folder and rename it. thank you. -milind
- Rated 3 out of 5by rokasand, 6 years agoWX Download Status Bar is OK, but this one offers the flexibility of the old Download Status Bar: Download Manager S3 ( https: //addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/s3download-statusbar/ ).

- Rated 3 out of 5by macvisions, 6 years agoThe design is horrible, text in black with "forest green" background ?, We need to be able to choose what colors we want, otherwise it is acceptable. Ah!, We also need to be able to change the size of the text, it's too big and it takes up a lot of space, "Download Status Bar" triumphed for its design, minimalist and at the same time complete. I hope someday to see "WX Download Status Bar" as the best extension. Regards!
