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.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (12.3.0.1-signed).

If you apply the fix mentioned in a recent Forum posting, everything works fine in Nightly again.

Hi JoeG,

Thank you very much for your feedback.

I sent a new update for this problem. From now on, popup will not get over other application windows. Could you install v.13.4.0.1-signed and feedback please?

The functionalities of this extension are well thought out and well programmed.

It's a million times more helpful than Fx's native download capabilities. The ability to automatically virus-scan files, open the download folder, etc. are very practical.

Unfortunately, with the code changes to Fx Nightly of 07Jan16, the extension (v. 12.3.0.1-signed) - along with several others - got broken.

For me, having this extension functioning is more important than keeping up with what the Fx devs are up to, so I've gone back to the Nightly of 06Jan16.

It would be great if the extension dev could find some time to get it functioning again.

Thanks very much in advance.

Great!

If the dev really has nothing to do, how about a setting to change the color of the "Downloads" and Clear" buttons?

Thanks for the great work!

The Options window is now truly "professional", and all of the functions I've set for my personal configuration work as selected.

Thank you very much for a top-quality extension and a crucial addition to Firefox.

In my opinion, it's light years ahead of what the Moz devs have come up with in both concept and implementation.

Super!

This extension now permits addressing the Options from the AOM. Fantastic!

Thank you for the amazing and effective amount of work you've done over the last couple of days.

This just keeps getting better and better!

I've just updated to the new version (on Win XP), and everything works as it says on my machine.

The only thing that's missing for me is that clearing the extension downloads doesn't clear the native Fx download panel, but I guess this might not be technically possible.

In closing, I have to confess that I'm not a "big-league" download person; those who are might need some additional functionality.

I've now downloaded 1.6.19 and am using it with Holly (Fx 29) on both 32-bit WinXP and 64-bit Win 7. In both cases I'm using the Red Cats Green Flavor theme.

All in all I'm VERY happy with the extension so far. It basically does everything I want in a way I find aesthetically pleasing.

The options panel is good, though it could be a bit smaller.

Setting up the automatic antivirus scan is super, and it works with Norton Internet Security 2014 perfectly.

I have a big monitor (actually three), so the extra bar above Status-4-Evar doesn't bother me at all.

I have three suggestions, but I'm not sure if they're technically possible.

1. It would be great if canceling and clearing the downloads in the extension would also clear them from the Fx library panel, too.

2. An Option to "Open the 'Save to' directory automatically after the download is completed" would be much appreciated.

3. An Option to "Close Bar automatically after Download is completed" would also be very helpful.

Again, my sincere thanks for this EXTREMELY useful extension.
