User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 8.1.0; ONEPLUS A5010 Build/OPM2.171019.029) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.109 Mobile Safari/537.36 Expected results: I think the popup that appears when the user starts downloading a file should be an arrow icon in the address bar with a "doorhanger" coming out of it, similar to the extension install popup. The benefits: * more consistent style with other page-related actions, therefore drives focus and trust * harder to misclick it away * the downloads themselves are a popup, so it visually makes sense
Severity: normal → enhancement
Component: Untriaged → Downloads Panel
We have some user experience designs for removing the dialog, so that user-initiated downloads will just work without further confirmation. As a prerequisite, we will add a doorhanger notification in bug 1306334 for those cases where the download is initiated automatically. The latter will probably happen by the end of the year.
