posted 7 years ago1. Adding a sidebar is possible, and I just need to tweak the UI so it fits the narrow space.
However, the sidebar will be automatically opened by Firefox whenever the extension is installed or updated, before Firefox 62 [1]. I think this is very annoying for some users (including me), so it may be better to wait until Firefox 62 is released (2018-09-05).
This issue has also caused uBlock Origin to temporarily remove its sidebar.
2. You can change the option "Save files to" to "Download folder". Only this folder can be written quietly by extensions.
About the feature request:
What do you mean by "resumed from download page links"? Currently if a download task fails, it will show the "fail" icon, and you can double-click the task to resume.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Kurt, 3 months agoIt works, but... there's no way to use custom download locations, because /Downloads (my default location on Firefox under Debian Linux always is chosen.
That's a bad habit, because very often I use custom storage locations like USB HD's and especially bigger downloads put a high load unnecessarily on my SSD, which otherwise could be re-assigned completely.
Furthermore this AddOn seems to be dead, as there was no update since 2 full years... and there are numerous open tickets visible.
To clarify: I will re-edit this review in _ a n y _ case (dead or alive) and will downgrade it in case of a dead project and no response, so that it becomes at least obvious, that one should consider to remove this more and more function-wise dying thing from Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Grant, 4 months agoExcellent! It would be even better with an icon for the new Firefox sidebar :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13202285, a year agoThis add-on supercharges Firefox's built-in download manager by enabling multi-threading support. With no additional software required and a robust set of options, this add-on is fantastic. Thanks to the developer!
- Rated 4 out of 5by turgut kalfaoglu, a year agoIt's good but fails for very large files, ie 20GB or more. After the download, firefox starts saving it, but it gets stuck halfway.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18269807, a year agoA great extension - well thought out and functional! Very low CPU load - well done!
It's a pity that it asks about the location of the files at the end, instead of at the beginning of the download, but this limitation results from the limitations of Firefox itself, as I guess (removal of the "IDBMutableFile" functionality in Firefox version 75). - Rated 5 out of 5by Emre, a year ago
