Firefox is secure of the browsers available around. And when it comes to downloading, Firefox displays a dialog box on the progress of the download whether it be one or many. But this requires the browser to open a new window and hence utilizes more resources. But it is often in a minimized state. A new Add-on "Download Statusbar" is the solution....
This displays the progress in the stauts bar and hence doesn't require to open a new window.
Download the utility from "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26"
Click on "Add to Firefox"
It also provides options to configure the status bar like the style and colors.
* Click Tools ==> Add-ons ==> Options
* Under "General" tab, you have two modes - Full mode and Mini Mode.
* "Mini Mode" displays just the number of files being downloaded while "Full Mode" displays the complete name of the files.
* "Progress Notifications" section displays the notifications. And the highlight of all is that the files are cleared from the status bar once the download is done.
* Click "Appearance" tab ==> "Custome Style" radio button
Now you can select from the range of colors to design the status bar according to your style. You can even adjust the font sizes and width, height of the bar.
* Finally click "Apply" for the immediate effect of the changes and Click "OK" to fianlize.
