Also, I think they should add queuing to the DM. Forgive me if it's there and I'm just oblivious to it. “The new features are good, but there is one more feature you need to add……..the ability to reload a download from where it was interupted”

It's much more resilient and can save and import download lists with hundreds and even thousands of files. You set it and forget it, it'll simultaneously d/l from multiple sources, create multiple connections and many other useful features. I wish Mozilla would just buy-up/purchase a download manager author and incorporate it into the browser. A download manager such as GetRight is ESSENTIAL for Mozilla.

And /then/, using anyone of those powerapps as a model, please, implement a generic (!) download-manager, that is being the download/updates backend for _any_ Mozilla.org application. So I can continue my downloads even without starting Firefox. If you do it like proposed, I still will use FreeDownloadManager (before I used LeechGet) as the Download backend. Even better would be an option in the prefs: " Use external download-manager" along with a per-mime-type setting. And since I am on the topic, there sometimes are servers, that send text/plain or text/html in a way, that Firefox won't display it but wants to download it instead.
