At the risk of sounding ungrateful, can we please get a new download manager? I remember getting excited almost a year ago when an update for it was announced, yet I'm still stuck with this infuriating default which makes me want to smash my screen.
Yes, I'm aware add-ons fix that, I don't want an add-on for something that should exist as a part of Firefox.
According to the Mozilla wiki[1] the release is on-target for Firefox 14, which means it should hopefully land in Nightly within the next six weeks.
I feel your pain, though. Download Statusbar[2] has been indispensable for my purposes. Will be curious to see if the new download manager will be worth switching back to the default.
