Download Manager

Does anybody else not understand the download manager notification?

It pops up on the lower right hand corner, but there is nothing you can do with it.

I wish it would let you choose "Show File" and the other options there. I also wish it let you choose a longer time to see the notification. Sometimes, I am in the middle of typing, and then miss the message. Same with new email message for that matter. I wish it would let you click to open first new unread message.

If you have your privacy settings set a certain way, the notification provides a clickable link

The only settings I see are to remove downloads manually, upon successfult download, or when firebird exits.

Right. Don't set it to the last one and then the notifier becomes a link to the download manager.

I did have it on "manually", but that is because I liked the manual remove feature. How come the link to open the manager won't work if you want to manually remove the files?

I turned it to "When Mozilla Firebird exits", and just downloaded something else, but it still wouldn't let me click on the notifier to "show" the file. I had to go to Tools:Downloads in order to show the file.

Any other ideas?
