- Rated 3 out of 5by rokasand, 7 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, 7 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!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Kenneth Rosenstroem, 7 years agoNeeds to show up on all tabs, not only the one from where it was activated....and it's a bit too fat.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Yhpt, 7 years agoIt's a good feature to show a downloaded file in explorer by a double-click. How is it possible to open a downloaded file straight from the status-bar by a single click?
- Rated 3 out of 5by SilverDarkBlade, 7 years agoIts a good attempt at recreating the download status bar but the visuals don't quite feel right. Also download sounds don't trigger on downloads that happen near instantaneously.
- Rated 2 out of 5by codford, 7 years agoHorribly clunky ui. Instead of stretching the page and appearing as a toolbar it just overlays whatever you are viewing. Ridiculously large as well.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13516882, 7 years agoCurrently overwrites the bottom of the screen instead of pushing it upadfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf asdf asdfsdfasdf asdfsadfasfefe fa sdf asdfsadfasdfas

posted 7 years agoIt tries to adjust the website to avoid covering anything, but it's not possible to make it work on every website. Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe addon has no control over where things are saved, you should set a default download folder in the Firefox settings.- Rated 4 out of 5by AndyD, 7 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Creaulx, 7 years agoGrat replacement for the old, lamented Download Status Bar extension. One gripe only - please take me directly to the downloaded file when I click "Show In Explorer" as opposed to the directory only - lots of hunting for files going on. Otherwise looks good and performs wonderfully.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Alex , 7 years agoBar size is tied to the page zoom settings. Since I'm usually browse internet with zoom size 130-150% or higher, this bar looks like it was made for elephants and it's constantly changing it's size upon changing current page size. Needs fixing or settings for the bar's font size.
- Rated 4 out of 5by phluxm, 7 years agoA good substitute for Download Statusbar but takes up a teeny bit too much room at the bottom of the screen (any chance to reduce it just a bit or give font size options?). Only appears in the tab you downloaded it on which is unhelpful but otherwise liking it! Also this is open source = extra kudos :)
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 5603302, 7 years agoCovers the bottom of the page. It's stupid. It should be outside the content of www.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13699676, 7 years agoIt needs to "access my data for all websites"? No thanks....
- Rated 4 out of 5by mimteatr, 7 years agoGood replacement for Download Statusbar, thank you! I'll give you a fifth star if you can add more colors, font sizes, more options as asked by other reviewers! ;)

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13689365, 7 years agoHas great potential being the only replacement for Download Status Bar I've seen but needs work.
The interface is very basic, no way to change the size of the bar, no way to customize what info is shown on the download tabs, etc.
Hoping the developers continue to update this great tool with more customization options.
