Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Download Manager, defect, P3)

Description

[Oana Horvath [:ohorvath - out of office]]

Devices:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Android 5.0.1);
- Xiaomi MiPad 2 (Android 5.1);
Build: Nightly 54.0a1 (2017-02-10);

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download a large audio/video/image file.
2. Go to about:downloads and long tap the download in progress.
3. Verify that the options: Pause and Resume are displayed and working.
4. Verify that Pause & Resume buttons are displayed in the android notification bar while the file is downloading/paused.

Expected result:
The pause/resume options should be available for all files.

Actual result:
Some files, as audio, video or image (jpg) types don't have the pause/resume actions. 

Notes: These are just a few of the file types I've tested, probably there are others. 
On the other hand, zip files do have the option to pause/resume downloads.

This behavior depends on the server pausing & resuming a download requires the server to accept the range parameter. https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html 

Were all the test files served from the same subdomain/domain?

@Kevin, 
Initially I've downloaded files from the test page: https://people-mozilla.org/~atrain/mobile/tests/media.html
It also happens on: www.html5videoplayer.net/videos/toystory.mp4

Doesn't reproduce on this pages:

Is this a regression or new bug?

Can't run mozregression to determine this, it seems to not be working for a while now for me & others.
For additional info to Kevin's comment, these files downloads can be paused on Chrome, but not on Nightly:

Using the bellow mentioned steps, I was able to reproduce this issue on Beta 67.0b11 using a Huawei MediaPad M3 Tablet(Android 7.0)

1.Go to https://www.thinkbroadband.com/download and download a large file
2.While downloading choose from the control notification: •pause
3.While downloading choose from the control notification: •resume
4.While downloading choose from the control notification: •pause

Actual result:
After resume, you can't pause it neither from the Android notification bar nor from the downloads manager.

Notes:Was able to pause video downloads.
Wasn't able to pause again zip and pdf files
