It would be nice to have a confirmation dialog saying something like "You currently have active downloads, closing all browser windows will cancel them. Do you wish to continue?". The dialog would probably have a checkbox to prevent the browser asking again if that is what the user preferred. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a long download 2. Close all windows 3. Restart browser 4. Open download manager Actual Results: The download was cancelled. Expected Results: Prompted me if I really wanted to exit as it would cancel active downloads.
Are you also closing the download manager window (in the middle of the download)? Or are you using a progress dialog? Or are you using no progress window of any sort?
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210 I agree this is a bug. When I start downloading something, the download manager pops up, but I tend to close it stright away. As long as some mozilla window is open the download continues, however the download stops if all mozilla windows are closed. No matter in what order the mozilla browser window and download manager are closed, there is no warning about the fact this will stop file download. Either closing the download manager should cause downloads to stop (with warning?) or some other option
Dup of either bug 147254 or bug 181374
I should have mentioned in the initial bug report that I am not using Quick Launch If you have enabled Quick Launch then the assumption is that downloads should continue even though all browser windows have closed (this is not happening in 1.3.1b, hence bug 147254). This bug addresses a different issue -- if you have disabled Quick Launch then exiting the browser will cancel active downloads, I would just like a confirmation dialog before this happens. Boris - as per MrJeff's comments, it doesn't matter which order you close the windows in. Wesha - not sure if this is really a dupe of either of those as both seem to involve Quick Launch functionality. Of course there is a question here if the behaviour should differ depending on whether Quick Launch is enabled. There is also the possibililty that closing the Quick Launch icon when there are active downloads should cause a similar confirmation dialog as requested in this bug.
