599766 - Download progress missing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 574688

(Firefox :: General, defect)

The status bar does not show download progress. In fact, relegating it to "Add-on Bar" breaks some sites, but that's an issue for another bug report. By essentially stripping Minefield of the status bar, important information is no longer display -- such as how long until a download completes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a file
2. Look at the bottom of the window
3. Wonder if you're downloading a file
Actual Results:  
Nothing, no indication what-so-ever

Expected Results:  
Number of downloads and time remaining to be displayed

Able to reproduce. While downloading a file, unable to see the status of the downloads at bottom of the window. There is no indication which reflects the number of downloads and time take for the downloads.

The status bar was replaced, per bug 574688 (see comment #129 there before commenting). The download manager still gives you an indication of progress.

However, please file any bugs you find where "'Add-on bar' breaks some sites."
