#Firefox scratchpad download download
For example, I may normally want to render *.pdf or *.mid files in the browser but occasionally want to download them instead. It also allows exception downloading of files that are normally set to be viewed by the browser through plug-ins without changing the actual download actions for the relevant file type. Examples include files with the *.js, *.css, *.html, and *.txt extensions. This allows users to download files that are normally viewed by the browser.
#Firefox scratchpad download manual
Allow manual copy and pasting of URLs into the download manager.Allow the download manager UI to be accessed via a tab instead of through a new window.Add a display for the entire source URL and entire destination directory preferably they would be displayed in a manner that allowed copy and paste.This would be helpful to users that save a lot of files or have complex file organization systems to have that directory be opened by default in the save file dialogue so that if there was an exception, the user could easily choose a different directory.


automated download to the specified directory.For example, file of X type should go into X directory or files from X website should go in X directory. Allow the user to specify directories and criteria by which files should be put into these directories.Some features I think the download manager could use are: (Maybe changing the target path of the currently downloading file?) - Caleb 12:01, (PST) Click on the link to download A again, save it, and your download will restart from 0%! This should be handled in a better way. One more important thing: Do NOT restart the download of a currently downloading entry if the user clicks a link and saves it _again_. There should at least be an option in about:config to restore the Cancel button, since to many Firefox users this is not a major problem. However, all of the download control commands (pause/resume, cancel and restart) should be available on the context menu and the user should be allowed to select multiple entries and apply actions on them. Instead Cancel should only appear on a paused entry. The cancel link shouldn't be displayed on a downloading entry since the user might accidentally click on it and cancel the download. When the user is downloading, we should only display a link to pause a downloading entry.
