199680 - Add a warning if quitting Mozilla (via File ->Quit) and there are active downloads running (like LimeWire or BearShare do)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 39057

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Alexander Wittig]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

If I have a download running, particularly if it is set to only show up in the
download manager, I sometimes forget about that download and accidentally just
hit Ctrl-Q and everything is lost without warning.
It may be better to have a dialog saying "Hey, there are donwloads in progress.
Do you want to cancel them and quit or continue downloading?". (This is also the
default behaviour of P2P apps like Limewire or Bearshare.)
It could be disabled with a check box on the Navigator/Downloads settings page
if people don't want to be warned.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a download (like the mozilla nightly build)
2. Change back to your browser window and forget about the download
3. Hit Ctrl-Q or select File -> Quit (or Mozilla -> Quit on Mac OS X)

Actual Results:  
your download is canceled without notice / warning => very annoing if your
downloading large files via Modem / slow connection.

Expected Results:  
A warning or message saying "Hey, there are donwloads in progress. Do you want
to cancel them and quit or continue downloading?"
