- Rated 2 out of 5by DukeNukem, 5 years agoWas intending to mainly use this, not only as an easy to see downloader interface, but to hide that archaic and annoying URL status bar... However to my surprise it overlays underneath it, yeah thanks for the disappointment as I see no option to display the download GUI over it in preferences... But it can overlay over full screened videos??? Nice. So help me Duke, is there any stopping the Satan that is, "the status bar"??? By the gods of Gondor will you please shower your wrath upon us and add a little box to check that can hide this hell?
- Rated 2 out of 5by Howard, 5 years agoI was hoping for a download bar that works like on Chrome. Shows status of download and then a single click to open, and the button (and the bar) disappears after opening. This does none of that.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12055580, 6 years agowhat format do i need to choose for sound to work?
also more colour options needed as well as width of bar should condense when many files are being downloadedDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoogg, mp3, wav, flac and webm should all work, some people have had problems getting custom sounds to work though, which I've never been able to reproduce to fix. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13742559, 7 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 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 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 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13611239, 7 years agotoo big and above existing html componenets. cannot be hidden while downloading. download status bar on previous version of firefox was a lot better.

posted 7 years agoThere is a beta version for 1.7 with a smaller bar and a button that will minimize it to the corner. - Rated 2 out of 5by Ali El-Hadidy, 7 years agoOnly two stars due to lack of customizability and features, this has the potential to be the standard must-have download bar for all Firefox users.
Please heed users' comments and suggestions asap, and you'd definitely get 5 stars from most.
Thank you. - Rated 2 out of 5by PabLo, 7 years agoIf you dont get it smaller like the original download status bar, this is pretty useless for me.
+ the size changes when you zoom in and out!
+ i dont see the bar on every tab, for example on this site it doesnt appear!
NEW POINT:
+ the size of the file-bars are different because the filenames got different lengths. they should be all the same size. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13554603, 7 years agoKeine Anzeige während des Downloads. Es erscheinen nur die fertigen Downloads unten.
Das Design ist sehr einfach und die Anzeige der Downloads ist mir viel zu groß.
