Jul 21, 2007  I can't see the progress on files that I'm downloading. When I save a file to download, it works when it's complete, but I have no idea when that is. I want to see the progress of the download but it doesn't show me. I go to tools, then downloads. But there's nothing there.

Show Downloads In Progress Firefox

Support for extensions using XUL/XPCOM or the Add-on SDK was removed in Firefox 57, released November 2017. As there is no supported version of Firefox enabling these technologies, this page will be removed by December 2020.

Add-ons using the techniques described in this document are considered a legacy technology in Firefox. Don't use these techniques to develop new add-ons. Use WebExtensions instead. If you maintain an add-on which uses the techniques described here, consider migrating it to use WebExtensions.

Starting from Firefox 53, no new legacy add-ons will be accepted on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) for desktop Firefox and Firefox for Android.

Starting from Firefox 57, only extensions developed using WebExtensions APIs will be supported on Desktop Firefox and Firefox for Android.

• When you start a download, the Firefox Downloads window automatically opens to help you keep track of files you download while using Firefox, including files you open and save to your computer. But sometimes you close that window (by mistake or on purpose) and then you wonder – how do I get that window back?

Even before Firefox 57, changes coming up in the Firefox platform will break many legacy extensions. These changes include multiprocess Firefox (e10s), sandboxing, and multiple content processes. Legacy extensions that are affected by these changes should migrate to use WebExtensions APIs if they can. See the 'Compatibility Milestones' document for more information.

A wiki page containing resources, migration paths, office hours, and more, is available to help developers transition to the new technologies.

This example illustrates how to customize the progress bar displayed for a given download in the Downloads window.

First you need to overlay the Downloads window so that you can add a new stylesheet. In your jar.mn file, add the following (replacing 'myextension' with the name of your extension's chrome package):

% overlay chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.xulchrome://myextension/content/downloads-overlay.xul

In downloads-overlay.xul, reference the new stylesheet:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<?xml-stylesheet href='chrome://myextension/skin/myextension.css' type='text/css'?>
<overlay xmlns='http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gat..re.is.only.xul'>
</overlay>

In jar.mn, make sure that there is an asterisk in front of the entry for myextension.css so that it will be preprocessed. This is required since it contains platform-specific directives, as we will see.

Best blueprint software for beginners. The myextension.css file will look something like this:

richlistitem progressmeter {
%ifdef XP_WIN
min-height: 17px !important;
%else
%ifdef XP_MACOSX
-moz-appearance: none !important;
background-image: url(chrome://myextension/skin/progress_bg_osx.png) !important;
%endif
%endif
}
richlistitem .progress-bar {
%ifdef XP_WIN
-moz-appearance: none !important;
background-image: url(chrome://myextension/skin/progress_fd_win.png) !important;
%else
%ifdef XP_MACOSX
background-image: url(chrome://myextension/skin/progress_fd_osx.gif) !important;
%endif
%endif
}

This is the product of some tweaking and experimentation, so perhaps there is a different and/or better way to achieve the same thing. We are specifying the height of the progress meter on Windows and a background image on Mac. The background image (the first one in the file) should be a segment of whatever you want the unfilled portion of the progress bar to look like. An image of 7 pixels wide and 12 pixels high seems to work well. The other two images are for the filled in progress bar on Windows and Mac respectively. Once again, a height of 12 pixels or so and a few pixels wide seems about right, though you might have to experiment with this a bit.

Changing the progress bar for specific downloads

This is all you need to change the progress bar appearance for all downloads. If you want to change it for certain specific downloads only, things get a bit trickier. In your overlay file, add a JavaScript file between the <overlay> and </overlay> tags:

<script type='application/javascript' src='chrome://myextension/content/downloads-overlay.js' />

The JavaScript file will look something like this:

var MyDownloadManager = {
defaultCreateDownloadItem : null,
init : function fdm_init() {
MyDownloadManager.defaultCreateDownloadItem = window.createDownloadItem;
window.createDownloadItem = function(aAttrs) {
var dl = MyDownloadManager.defaultCreateDownloadItem(aAttrs);
if (dl) {
if (..whatever condition you use to decide whether to change this download..) {
dl.setAttribute('myspecialdownload', 'true');
}
}
return dl;
}
}
};
window.addEventListener('load', function(e) { MyDownloadManager.init(); }, false);

In your CSS file, change richdownloaditem (both occurrences) to richdownloaditem[myspecialdownload='true']. Now your new progress bar image will only be used for the downloads with your special attribute.

Download protection

Firefox View Download Progress On Ps4

Before beginning a download, Firefox will attempt to protect you from potentially malicious or unsafe downloads. See the Mozilla blog posts, 'Enhancing Download Protection in Firefox' and 'Improving Malware Detection in Firefox' for more information. If something is suspected, the download will not begin, but rather:

Potentially malicious downloads are detected using Google Safe Browsing Service. A red dot will appear on the Download arrow:

Click on the red-tagged Download arrow to open the Downloads panel. The file name will be displayed along with the warning message,

• This file contains a virus or malware.

Other files covered under download protection may be potentially unwanted downloads (explained in the Google Policy) that may make unexpected changes to your computer. Or, a download may not be malicious or unwanted but simply not commonly downloaded. A yellow dot will appear on the Download arrow:

Click on the yellow-tagged Download arrow to open the Downloads panel. The file name will be displayed with one of these warning messages:

• This file may harm your computer.
• This file is not commonly downloaded.

How do I handle unsafe downloads?

When you see a malicious file or other types of potentially unsafe files in the Downloads panel, click on the right-facing arrow to choose what to do with the file, as shown in this example:

You will be given more information about the type of unsafe file and the option to open or remove the file:

Tip: The (right-click) context menu includes other options for handling any potentially harmful or malicious files listed in the Downloads panel that are pending download:

For example: Right-clickHold down the control key while you click on one of the potentially unsafe files that are pending download and select Allow Download to save the file to your computer.

You can check on past downloads at any time. Click on the Downloads button (alternatively, click the Library button and then click Downloads) to open the Downloads panel. The Downloads panel displays your three most recently downloaded files, along with its size, source and download time.

You can manage your files directly in the Downloads panel or in your library. Options will appear to the right of each file during each stage of the download.

• Pause: You can pause any downloads currently in progress by right-clickingpressing Ctrl and clicking on the file and selecting Pause. When you want to continue downloading the file, right-clickpress Ctrl and click the file entry and select Resume.
