1968396 - Display real-time download progress and speed for ongoing downloads in notifications and downloads menu on Firefox for Android.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1956580

(Firefox for Android :: Downloads, enhancement)

Description

[Cheek]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:138.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/138.0

Steps to reproduce:

• Start downloading a file in Firefox for Android (Fenix).
• Observe the download progress notification in the device’s notification shade.
• Open the downloads menu in the app while the file is still downloading.

Actual results:

• The notification only shows a progress bar and a percentage, but does not display the current download speed, the total file size, or the amount downloaded so far.
• The downloads menu does not show in-progress downloads at all. They only appear once the download has finished.

Expected results:

• The download notification should display real-time details such as amount downloaded, and total file size.
• The downloads menu should list in-progress downloads and show their current progress and relevant details, similar to the expected behavior for the notification, while they are still downloading.
• Both features could also be further enhanced by showing the current download speed (similar to Firefox Desktop).

If the team agrees this would be a useful enhancement, I’d be happy to work on implementing it myself.
