How can I make it so downloads have a progress bar?

more options

In the newest version (14.0) there are no progress bar or percentage on downloads in the notification pulldown. They also don't appear in the Downloads page of Firefox until they are done downloading.

Is there a way to get either of those back? I've looked at the Extensions for mobile, and with the few that have been made in the short time this version has been out, none of them would help with this. Are there any options that I can't find?

If there isn't, can you please add this sometime in the future? It's driving me mad not knowing how far my download is.

Sorry about that! We are working on adding this back to Firefox in an upcoming version: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741654
