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 :-)

If I could have only one add-on made a permanent part of Firefox, this is it. The author has done a phenomenal job of replacing the original with something that is even better. His dedication to the task is second to none. Congratulations for a job well done :-)

BTW, second choice would be Tab Mix Plus.

OK, if you don't have this add-on, what's stopping you. This is, bar none, the best add-on for Firefox.

This just gets better and better every day.Do you have plans to add a pop-up when the mouse is over a download ... like the old DSB?

My mistake. I clicked on a download box and there it is. That's good enough for me.

If I could give 10 stars I would.

Although this is a work in progress, it works. That's more than I can say for Download Statusbar which I used for years. It stopped working with FFv26.

I would like to see a configuration item for the maximum width of each download and the possibility to clear completed downloads by double clicking the bar

Hi,

Thank you very much for your review.

Could you please install v1.8.8 which includes "Clicking empty bar space will auto clear completed downloads" option now?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-status-bar/versions/1.8.8

I will handle the width issue as soon as I can.

Cheers
