Steps to reproduce:
1. load the attached test extension to firefox
2. click on browser action icon
Notes:
- tested with developer edition 57.0b14
- the test extension contains a simple content script which creates a blob and initiates a download via chrome.download.downloads() upon browser action click
Actual results:
- the file will downloaded successfully to the configured folder
- the download will not appear in firefox download panel or about:downloads page.
Expected results:
- a notification about the downloaded file is expected to appear in firefox downloads panel and the about:download page. a user should have proper notification about downloads initiated by webextensions.
- When testing the extension in Chrome (62) it behaves as expected - download notification is displayed, and an entry is added to downloads history

Seems to work as expected on OS X. Krupa can someone on your team try on Windows 7 please?

I would greatly appreciate if you could update on this bug.
This is a major blocker for porting our extension to firefox.

The update is that we have been unable to reproduce this.
Does this occur for you if you run in a new profile?

Thanks for the quick response! Indeed, running with a new profile resolved the issue.
Can you explain how a profile can cause such behavior to occur?

I'm not sure, perhaps you have a preference set that is causing this? Can you go to about:support (in the affected profile), use one of the "copy" buttons at the top of the page and then attach a file to this bug with the contents?

about:support export for the affected profile is attached

Huh, nothing stands out from the preferences in your affected profile. Can you open the Browser Console when this happens and see if there are any errors that look related?
Note the Browser Console is different from the regular web console:

This bug has gone dormant for some time. I'm closing as WONTFIX. If the reporter wishes to reopen this after addressed #c7, then so be it.
