posted 7 years agoThe bar is HTML that is injected into the page so it can sometimes interfere with things there. I could probably do some sort of minimize button to temporarily hide it in cases where it is covering something.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Iantuition, 2 months agoNearly 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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Rob, 3 months agoHow 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by rado84, 4 months agoDoesn't work at all, totally useless! The "status bar" won't even show up when a download starts.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sizemic-HUGE!, 8 months agoExcellent plugin. And love the latest (Mar 31, 2024) customization features! Amazing.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Herman Blume, a year agoIt'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.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Cam, 2 years agoOf 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?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Krona, 3 years agoI wished it worked like Chrome and, sometimes, it's impossible to close the bar without restarting Firefox.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Dorraj, 3 years agoIt 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15414620, 4 years agoDoesn't work. You cannot open anything from the statusbar
- Rated 4 out of 5by Umpahpah, 4 years agoUseful tool, perhaps some design is needed (too large when page size is change, but overall qute good
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 11050938, 4 years agoYep. It needs single-click opening -- better yet, an "open when done" function. And a smaller footprint, at least as an option.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Azerik, 4 years agoWould almost be perfect if I could more easily open files from the status bar. Double clicking, then clicking an "open file" pop-up is not intuitive or efficient.
