- Rated 5 out of 5by Phylis, 7 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 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13452783, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dziad Borowy, 7 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 5 out of 5by yomito, 7 years agoAt this moment this is the only download status bar for FF57, and it works like a charm. Thank you very much.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13464791, 7 years agovery nice addon and replacement for the download status bar!!! it would be great if the bar could be visible in all open tabs and not only in the one where the download actually happened.
edit: my bad, of course, the bar will show in all open tabs. just dont forget to restart firefox :-)
thx again, made my day! - Rated 5 out of 5by QuantumDrone, 7 years agoAn excellent alternative to ye olde Download Status Bar addon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13435180, 7 years agoThank you so much for making the download bar smaller. It's just as good as Download Statusbar now. Great job.

No problem with sound on my computer.
FF 57.0.2 x86
Win 10 Pro x64 - Rated 5 out of 5by zeus163, 7 years ago--Just an update...while I really like the new beta, I had to disable it for now. While downloading and using the new beta many pages were unresponsive. I had a hard time even typing in this window. I'm going to revert back to the official version for the time being, but for quick testing purposes, I had simply disabled the new version and that solved the problem. The new beta is slick...but performance was taking a hit.
--what I previously said...Wow. The new beta is pretty slick. Smaller progress bar and the ability to minimize the progress bar were the two I was looking forward to the most. I've now changed my review to five stars since it really does meet my needs the way I'd like to. Sure, there are some small tweaks I'd love to see, but this is going a direction that I'm very happy with.
Sorry others don't realize the functionality of the old download status bar can't be done with the newest versions of Firefox. But what you are doing makes up for it (mostly). Thanks!Developer response
posted 7 years agoPlease create an issue on GitHub about the unresponsiveness. Add your OS, PC specs and number of tabs and downloads you had at the time you saw it.
I haven't noticed any performance issues myself but it could just be the tabs/downloads/machine I'm testing with. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13043874, 7 years agoCan you add the following options on right click on the file when downloading files?
Goto Download Page
Copy Download Link
Would it be possible to add downloads with unknown total file size to show in the download bar? Total size would simply show NA for these types
Also another small suggestion. Is there any way to be able to make the download bar work on the right or left sides of windows vs the bottom? Obviously you would have to limit the column length but some users may prefer that integration - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12356949, 7 years agoGreat start, thank you!
I wish I could choose the default destination folder (or maybe I couldn't find how) - Rated 5 out of 5by oldavaleaf, 7 years agoNice. Even though it is not as customizable as "Download Bar" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-bar/) which no longer works in Firefox 57, at least it provides the features that I really need.
The only downside is that it becomes transparent when using my favorite global dark theme from userstyles, but luckily there is another theme that adapts fairly well to its appearance.
