Improve download management in Firefox Android

[eaw4690]

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 ongoing downloads
- pause/unpause and cancel options
- progress bar or otherwise
- download speed and size downloaded over download file size

Comparison of downloads page of Chrome, Edge and Firefox:

Notice the download notification icon on the top of each browser.

download manager for Android firefox.

Hi.

There's no download panel in firefox Mobile Android. One cannot start/pause/resume/delete a downloading file, it's not even visible. Which is very frustrating. And the download doesn't happen in background when you remove firefox from the recent apps, download just stops. Compared to other apps like chrome and opera, this is a big drawback using Firefox.

This is somewhat laughable... It's 2025 and this basic download managment feature still hasn't been implemented...?!

Show ongoing downloads with total size, downloaded size, percentage, and download speed in the Downloads panel

Currently, in Firefox for Android, files only appear in the Downloads list after the download is complete. I suggest that downloads should be visible in the Downloads panel while they are still in progress. The panel should display the total file size, the amount already downloaded, the percentage completed, and the current download speed (per second). This would help users monitor their download progress more easily and improve the overall download experience.

Yes i also want this problem to be fixed. The downloads in progress can't be seen in download page inside the browser. It only shows in notification pannel. Only the completed downloads shows in download page. So, please fix this issue, so that both of the downloading and dowloaded contents occur in download page.
