On Firefox Android, I've noticed problems on download management: 1. The Downloads page does not display the progress/status of ongoing downloads. It only displays completed downloads. 2. The download progress only displays in the system notification. If the download fails and cleared that notification (either intentional or by accident), the download will be removed/cancelled. Here's my idea: Add more information in the Downloads page (much like in Chrome and Edge): - progress/status of o...

Firefox for Android is my favorite, but its download manager is not that special, sometimes a file gets downloaded, but mostly the big files fail and do not get downloaded at all, I request you to make the firefox download manager even better like the download manager of Brave and Chrome browser.

When performing a download on Firefox for Android with the External Download Manager option ticked, you get to chose which download manager you would like to use as well as having the option to complete the download with Firefox anyway. This can be particularly annoying when downloading many files one after another. As such setting a default download manager along with adding a small indicator to say a download has been added would be a good addition. TL;DR: Prevent the need for this popup b...

All that's missing is: Option to customize the download application, add "1DM+" as a download manager, when downloading through the browser.  2- Synchronize my extensions with my browser account, to restore the same extensions when logging in to a new smartphone.  In the Android mobile browser. Só falta: Opção de personalizar o aplicativo de download adicionar o "1DM+" como gerenciador de download, ao fazer download pelo navegador. 2- Sincronizar minhas extensões com a minha conta d...

Some examples of settings that would be really useful are: * Homepage * Managed bookmarks * Disable or restrict add-ons * Disable password saving * DNS over HTTPS * Enhanced Tracking Protection * Download restrictions * Other security-related browser settings From an enterprise perspective, centralized manag...

Ability to torrent directly in the browser instead of having to install and rely on other software would be safer and a good feature for the browser. Brave Browser already has this feature.

Firefox for Android browser is very good, but its download manager is not proper, because when downloading large files, if the internet speed slows down or the network disconnects, the download fails and you have to download again. Also, if a link expires, you have to download again. Please make its download manager like ADM or IDM download manager, so that even if the link expires, it can update the link and resume the download from where it stopped, without having to start over. Thank you.

The Firefox browser for Android is my number one and primary browser, but since the recent updates (151, 152, and 153), I'm experiencing problems downloading large files or movies. Either the download speed is very slow, or the download fails altogether, even though I have a 5G phone and a 5G network. Another issue is that if I download two or three files simultaneously and then check the file manager within the browser, I only see one file; the other files are hidden. Also, the option to i...

A "save as" dialogue, like the one in the attachment will help to properly name anything before downloading. This will help to avoid the extra step where you need to do it in the file manager   .

...dd-ons section gradually will be a plus. Firefox allows us to use 3rd party DM (Download Manager) that is Superb. But why not giving us an option to set our Preferred DM?  Issue - If I select Shortcuts only from settings to be displayed on the Home Page, Why do I have to see my visited URLS as Shortcuts that has been turned off? Another thing, If I search for an image on Google and want to download it from that page, FF doesn't allow this simple action!! Lame👎 I request E...
