Great addon. Would be nice if you could fix the issue with the updating of the addon and the pausing before exiting. Maybe detect when user wants to exit firefox and say you have pending downloads would you like to pause/, remove the downloads or cancel closing firefox. If the update issue cannot be fixed then maybe alert the user via the extension when there is an update?

Developer response
posted 7 years agoActually it is OK to ignore that suggestion. If it is updated or exited while downloading, only about 1 second's progress will be lost. The downloads will resume after the update or the next start of Firefox. This feature is less tested though (I often use this extension but only sometimes exit while downloading), so the suggestion is written.
Now (v0.3) its automatic update is configured to be delayed until browser restart. I do not know any method of detecting Firefox exit without interfering the tabs (limitation of Firefox 57 extension).
The description will be rephrased.
