Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Andreas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050215 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050215 Firefox/1.0+

Trunk 15-Feb
When installing regular extensions (tried adblock 0.5.2.039, Tabbroswer
Preferences 1.1.1 and Bookmark Synchronizer 1.0.1) they are added to the
download manager.
Extension installation works well , however when closing firefox the download
manager alerts the user that there are unfinnished downloads.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install MSI Trunk 15-Feb
2.Install Adblock 0.5.2.039
3.Close Firefox after extension is added 

Actual Results:  
Prompted saying that there were unfinnished downloads and if the user wants to
cancel them.

Expected Results:  
Download manager should (in my view) not add extension packages to the list of
downloaded software as it is handled by the extension manager to handle uninstalls.
