1711053 - Download items should be clickable before they finish

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Downloads Panel, enhancement)

Description

[Micah [:mtigley] (she/her)]

Items in the downloads panel should be clickable so that users have the option to "queue" opening a download that's in progress once it's finished. This would allow users to avoid having to wait around for the download to finish, re-open the panel, and then click the finished download to open it.

We could consider a workflow similar to Chrome: while a download is in-progress and the user clicks it: show some text under the download saying "Opening in N seconds". If the download is clicked again, it cancels this action.
