Please add the option when looking at downloads either from the arrow on main page or the downloads page (right click option?) to "open when done"  This is a great feature that Chrome has for folks with either slow internet speeds, or downloading something very large.  Rather than waiting and continually checking to see if something has finished downloading, it'll automatically open when the download is done.  Thanks.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I think this feature already exists, at least in the download drop-down menu.

Clicking an active download in the list marks it to be opened once fully downloaded:

Afaik this is currently not possible in the downloads page, and it would be nice for this to work everywhere you'd expect it to do.

AUGH, thanks!  In all the many, many, many years of using Firefox and it's predecessors I never caught that option!

Yay!
