Hi,

I started implementing this as a pet project, see [1].

[1] https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/compare/master...julienw:downloads-extensions

I barely have the start -- but it seems to work so far ;)

Added [dev-doc-needed] so wbamberg can create the MDN pages from the json.

[Will Bamberg [:wbamberg]]

I've built and published these pages: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/downloads.

Does the implementation period for onDeterminingFilename?

To avoid confusion - my question was associated with the capture of links to FTP the file and download it myself.
