This issue regressed when Downloads.jsm was introduced instead of the old nsIDownloadManager API.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install the Download Manager Tweak add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-manager-tweak/?src=search
2. Restart the browser
3. Perform a download

Expected result: the add-on's downloads panel opens when the download starts and shows the download progress (and other downloads previously made, if available)

Actual result: the add-on's downloads panel doesn't open when the download starts. You can open it from the downloads indicator, but it doesn't show the downloads (it is empty)

Note: the issue is not reproducible with August 5 Nightly (which doesn't have the Downloads.jsm landed), nor by turning the browser.download.useJSTransfer preference to false.

The developers have been notified.

Closing the old compatibility bug now that legacy extensions are not supported anymore.
