CloseReview for Download Status Bar by Diogenes
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Firstly,I want to say I use,and quite like this extension,and the fact it doesn't require a restart every time it's updated.
Having said that,I'm genuinely intrigued as to why it has to be updated so often if it's 'Ready for use',and not merely being used as a public beta test.
Genuine question,rather than a myopic criticism.
Update:- Following the prompt reply & (perfectly logical) explanation from Szalgiris,you may notice there's now another star twinkling up there in the virtual sky.
I honestly didn't realise there were so many different versions of FF out there these days,which have to accounted for when coding extensions.
Many thanks again Szalgiris.
Hi Diogenes,
Thank you so much for your review and kind words.
The add-on supports Firefox 24 ESR, Firefox 27, Firefox 28, Firefox 29 Australis, Firefox 31 Nightly and Pale Moon. Because add-on supports such a wide range of browsers and each browser user base has its own requirements, the add-on needs to be updated frequently to provide them what they request as soon as possible.
While I respect and understand some people want updates in a month or so, I personally chose coding and releasing in a fast manner so that user can benefit the new features as they are available.
If you do not want the updates, you can go to Add-ons page and Disable Automatic Updates for the add-on and manually "Check for Updates" to install add-on updates whenever you want.
Cheers
