I don't think it's good idea. Installation process was cancelled by me. Sorry.
PS. There's no replies chain so just had to add.
If you used already built-in downloads for visualisation in status bar, your addon don't need to access my data then.
If you didn't used built-in downloads it means you used bad practice. Your addon will use more PC's resources and slow down Firefox.
Also users don't trust addons that request access to data because data may content personal information, logins/passwords, credit cards info, etc.

postet 8 år sidenYou seem to not understand how web extensions work. The old download status bar addon didn't ask for any permissions because legacy addons didn't have a permission system.
There is no way to show a status bar currently without injecting HTML into each page, which means the addon needs access to every website you visit.
Once Mozilla adds an API that allows creating real status bars then it will not need access to all pages, but that could be months away if not longer.

- Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Sopor, 4 måneder sidenIt seems that every Download status bar extension is out-of-date. Sad that they all are broken in different ways. 😥
- Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Iantuition, 10 måneder sidenNearly useless - having to first double-click the download in the status bar to open the download, then click "open download" in ANOTHER pop-up window (which often doesn't even come into focus, so the user has to find it) is more time consuming than simply opening the download window and opening the file from there. Uninstalled.
- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Rob, ett år sidenHow to stop it from opening a window to confirm I want to open a download please for the love of god this is so annoying.
- Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av rado84, ett år sidenDoesn't work at all, totally useless! The "status bar" won't even show up when a download starts.

- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Sizemic-HUGE!, ett år sidenExcellent plugin. And love the latest (Mar 31, 2024) customization features! Amazing.
- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Herman Blume, 2 år sidenIt's good, and it's really, really close to being perfect. Just wish there was an option to click the downloaded file and automatically open it.

- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Cam, 2 år sidenOf the few download statusbar addons, this is the "best" one, but it's still obnoxious how double-clicking the download opens a separate "open file" window instead of just, you know... opening the file?

- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Krona, 3 år sidenI wished it worked like Chrome and, sometimes, it's impossible to close the bar without restarting Firefox.

- Vurdert til 3 ut av 5av Dorraj, 4 år sidenIt is WAY more useful than the built in Firefox download manager, but I wish I could click it to open and I wish you could queue to open files when done downloading. Also the clear button being on the left is odd to me.
- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Umpahpah, 5 år sidenUseful tool, perhaps some design is needed (too large when page size is change, but overall qute good
- Vurdert til 3 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 11050938, 5 år sidenYep. It needs single-click opening -- better yet, an "open when done" function. And a smaller footprint, at least as an option.
- Vurdert til 3 ut av 5av Azerik, 5 år sidenWould almost be perfect if I could more easily open files from the status bar. Double clicking, then clicking an "open file" pop-up is not intuitive or efficient.
