Firefox Question

Marky · 5 Apr 2009 at 18:31

Hey all,

When you download a file in Firefox, when I close the browser it closes the download, so it doesn't get finished, then I have to find the download location again and download it and keep the browser open

Is there an add-on or setting so it at least gives you a warning before closing the browser whilst downloading or maybe just keeps the download going upon closing the browser?

Thanks muchly

It warns me by default, but by default it should resume the download (controlled by browser.download.manager.quitBehavior).

Hmm that's strange - I must have mine set to 0...
Where can I change this? Is there a config file that I can edit?

Stick about:config in your address bar. As the article says, 0 is the default, but I still get a warning that active downloads will be cancelled...

Wierd... mine is set to 0 and yet when I download it still cancels the download (And clears the download list) when I close the browser...
