Are you aware of the change cited in the mozilla.dev.extensions newsgroup, thread started today with subject "nsIDownloadManager replaced by Downloads.jsm"? Does that affect this excellent extension? The change is per bug #825588 at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825588, but also see bug #847863 at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=847863.
Preserve Download Modification Timestamp 2013.05.11.19b is broken in SeaMonkey 2.20. At first, I thought this was caused by bug #825588; but that won't be implemented in an end-user release for at least 4 more months.
Note that I also tried Preserve Download Modification Timestamp 2011.03.21.22. It too is broken in SeaMonkey 2.20. ============================================================================= OOPS!! The extension (2011.03.21.22) does work with large downloads. It appears that it does not work only with very small downloads. I will try the latest 2013.05.11.19; if I do not comment further, it too works for large downloads. My earlier comment about bugs #825588 and #847863 is still valid.
Not working with FF26.0b1.
Please fix it.
The new downloads API does not provide access to the necessary information, so it will not work with Firefox 26+.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=918188 There have always been ghosts in the machine... random segments of code that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul...
 For the record, such feature does work on Fx 26 for files downloaded using DownThemAll! 2.0.16 (with the "Set file time to last modified time (server) or time of queuing" option).
That is because DownThemAll is an entire download manager and does not re-use any of Firefox's code.
PDMTS is not a download manager. It extends the the built-in download manager, which is not currently possible with Firefox's new download manager. There have always been ghosts in the machine... random segments of code that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul...
So, currently there is no way to preserve original timestamp while downloading using Firefox? 
Bluefang, Has anything changed with regards to being able to extend Firefox to allow retaining of the file timestamp for more recent versions of Firefox?
The version history information and download link navigation for Preserve Download Modification Timestamp 2013.05.11.19b has been removed from Mozilla's Add-on website. The download is still, however, available directly: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/down ... on-history
