Firefox is a web browser that you can use to browse the internet. It has a lot of features, including a search engine, that make it a great choice for online browsing. One of Firefox’s features is its Downloads feature. This feature lets you see how many downloads Firefox has had in the past. You can also see how many downloads Firefox has been able to complete so far this month.


Note: This extension does not currently work in the Spanish language version of Firefox.

Before Download Panel

Here is the standard “Download Manager Window” in Firefox…not a lot of information to look at for any of the downloads is there?

Download Panel in Action

Looking at our “Download Manager Window” again you can see a noticeable difference from before. The best part of the new information is being able to see the exact URL that the file is downloading from (terrific!).

Options

Once you have installed the extension and restarted Firefox, take a quick look at the “Options Window” to see if you want to add or remove any information categories. You may also place them in the order that best suits your personal preferences.

Conclusion

Download Panel makes a nice addition to the Download Manager Window to help provide the information that you need about your downloaded files.
