It's a very good addon, I really like it.
Why not to add a feature to start the download manually and/or an option to set the maximum number of simultaneous downloads?

Very good addon, one among the must-haves.
Only 1 thing i don't like is that it pops up even if i watch videos at fullscreen (youtube for example). I don't mind if it displays downloads when i manually put FF to fullscreen (F11) .

Very good addons. Would it be nice if the download will be able to be cleared in the download bar when we SHIFT + drag & drop the file to Windows Explorer.

Good app! Add please: 1. sound errors when loading 2. Parametr visibility specified number of downloads, old downloads removed and was always seen for instance the last 10 downloads.
Thank you!

this little extension does a lot, is well developed and it is clear how much work and thought has gone into it when you start to use it

...what else? It has everything I was searching on a Download Status Bar. It fits perfectly on FF window, you can hide it, make it bigger or smaller. It shows a lot of info on the pop-up window and you can choose the details to show on the bar.
Ah! And it is working with current Nightly build (Firefox/48.0)

This is not only a MUST HAVE addon but recently added support for Palemoon which goes to show the developers level of commitment to the project!! Awesome job! The ONLY thing i'd like to see added is a short animation when the bar is closed.

As of today (08 March 2016), there's an updated version (13.4.2.1-signed).
I've installed it in both the latest Beta (v. 45) and Nightly (v. 48). As far as I'm able to see, it works fine in both - and I have 40+ other extensions installed!
Thanks to the dev.

Tout est dit dans la description, pour avoir tester un grand nombre de statut barre, celui est le plus simple mais le plus agréable estétiquement et optionnellement.
Et compatible firefox 44.0.2 ( No beta )
l'essayer c'est l'adopter
Hi Yorotiba,
Thank you so much for your review and kind words. Glad you like it.
Cheers

This is a MUST HAVE add-on. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. Unfortunately, recent changes make it no longer function in Palemoon 26.0.
There is a workaround.
Around line 1388 of bootstrap.js you need to add code between the lines ...
DownloadBarComponent.prototype = {
...
this.windowtype = "mail:3pane";
DownloadBar.windowtype = "mail:3pane";
break;
_________________________________________________________________
case "Pale Moon":
this.ff26above=false;
DownloadBar.ff26above=false;
this.windowtype = "navigator:browser";
DownloadBar.windowtype = "navigator:browser";
break;
_________________________________________________________________
case "Fennec": break;
default: //"Firefox", "SeaMonkey"
}
In order to modify bootstrap.js, you must open the .XPI file for the addon. Best approach is to go to the addon page, right click the link to install the addon and save it to your desktop. Then, open with winzip (XPI is ZIP). In winzip, open bootstrap.js with notepad++, go to line 1388 and add in the extra case for palemoon. Then fille --> Save and exit. Winzip should ask if you want to update the XPI file. Yes! Then save the XPI file from Winzip. Now, in palemoon, open the XPI file and you can install the fixed version.
Hope this helps those who did not know how to get at the bootstrap.js :-)

I use it for 2 years. Most of the time there were not any problems. But now in full screen mode (e.g. on YouTube) I feel that the panel gets to me. So I wish the option "hide toolbar in fullscreen mode"

Thanks a lot for you Great piece of work!
But one thing, i think, is missing - it`s ability to save my own Settings *(preferences)!
Anytime you reinstall FF you have to tweak DSB newly - that`s pretty disappointing.
So, my appeal to developers - please, make it possible to Save the user`s costume settings to a File, so it`s can be store on HDD (USB etc.) - and restore the user`s preferences in any time, anywhere you reinstall FF or DSB.
Thank you!

but please consider to turn this into a sidebar addon! so we can integrate it seamlessly with ultimate sidebar or its competitors.

I like to have my statuses where they belong: in the status bar.
This extension helps me achieve that. Thank you!

one minor irritation, the right click menu for items has no real options.
i would love for this menu to be streamlined to my own preferences, for some reason i find it awkward to read and always (every time) find the menu item hard to find, although it is pleasantly compact.
i only wish to use one or two of the items in that list, if the rest could be deselected it would totally round off this apps feature list for me.
this addon should be pushed by mozilla as a recomended feature of firefox. i never install ff without it. and have tried many other download addons, always to come back to this.
many thanks to the developers :)
edit: i just noticed the bs reviews below wailing about errors and the like while pushing other addons (that they are probably involved with).
this addon\extension has never ever had any issues, not with any microsoft os or version of firefox, best ignore those reviews (im a real user unrelated to the dev team)
@SyrupBuccaneer the launch on complete feature is as you say inherent in Firefox, simply use firefox's options ;)

В работе Download Status Bar возникает странная активность по межсайтовому скриптингу. NoScript обнаружил XSS с адреса chrome://downloadbar/content/statistics.xhtml на адрес Google-сервиса при выводе статистики из меню вашего add-on. Спрашивается: зачем? Судя по исходному коду вашего продукта, на адрес http://chart.apis.google.com отправляются статистические данные. Зачем отправка статистики по типам файлов Гуглу? Великодушно прошу, объяснитесь. Я на это не подписывался. Я считаю это подозрительным и неэтичным и приравниваю это расширение к шпионскому продукту (spyware).
Ниже привожу лог из console FireFox:
[NoScript ClearClick] Swallowed event mousedown on chrome://downloadbar/content/statistics.xhtml (rapid fire from http://chart.apis.google.com in 400ms)

You are correct, the CANCEL seem to remove the old dead stuff.

Very nice addon! However, I find myself very distracted with the download bar when I'm trying to watch something in full screen and downloading something at the same time. Any chance of adding something to hide it during those events?
