browser.download.useToolkitUI; false


Is it possible to display the downloading percentage with the new Download Manager (next to the time left)?

With the old Download Manager I could see the info in Windows task manager.


Thank you.

Hi there,

I don't think you can change to view percentages instead of times without hacking the UI (i.e. writing a simple add-on that changes this behavior). I believe the rationale is that time left is more useful than a percentage, since the latter doesn't say much without a sense of how fast things are downloading.

Cheers, David

Hi David,

Thanks for replying. I really appreciate it.

If it’s not much of a trouble, could you please give me the basic guidelines to the code? I’m an amateur and it should take me a long time to delve into it.

Best regards.
