Chrome listened to users and implement this feature: https://techysnoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/desktop-chrome-flags-parallel-downloading-enabled-1024x469.webp   This feature works by using Ranger header technology to spiit download into multiple parts and download at the same time, for example 8GB Windows ISO can be splitted into 8 1GB parts and download at the same time, which speeds up download significantly.   If Firefox want to get back marketshare, Firefox n...

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.

Stop Automatic checking and download Update

...ettings, to renaming Updater.exe, and changing Updater.ini, and removing FF update from Schedule Task. But all still does not prevent FF from automatically checking for updates and causing lag and slowness. (and I can only prevent FF from automatically downloading updates) I regret giving FF a second chance. My experience is like hell when I just type a few simple lines on FF, FF is so bad.

When a user downloads a file in Firefox the download indicator does not show any download progress or downloaded file size. All that is shown when you click on the File Download Icon is a dropdown that shows the file name, no progress. When the download is completed, the File Download Icon dropdown displays the file name and just says "Completed, and the file size". During a file download can we please have the File Download dropdown display the file download progress, file size download...

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...

Ever have to download several file at one time, me too! or maybe you lived in third rate country where bandwidth is still limited, well it's also me or maybe you still need to browse while downloading, you got it, me too man. Hey, wouldn't it be nice if you can set each download progress to be had it's own bandwidth assigned or just straight up easy interface to limit  all download bandwidth. Personally I would love to have with the first option, but beggar can only wish.

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.

Download Channels

Hello, I am a Firefox user from Mainland China. I would like to provide feedback on an incredibly frustrating issue: currently, the only official download channel for the Android version of Firefox is Google Play. However, Google Play services are not accessible in this region, which makes it difficult for new users to download and install Firefox, and existing users struggle to ensure timely updates. Therefore, I sincerely hope that more download options can be provided for users in M...

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.

Please disable this feature. We previously had the option of choosing whether to download the file or view it in a third party app via the temporary folders. Now it doesn't give us this option and all the files are filling up my desktop and it is a very annoying task to keep deleting all the unnecessary files.
