Details

Firefox monitors downloads and displays a summary progress bar in two places: The Windows 7 taskbar[1], and the new DownloadsUI toolbar button[2]. Each of these has its own code for subscribing to changes in downloads, and for summarizing the progress. They are slightly different, but substantially similar.

Ideally the same code would be used for both of these. It would probably be easiest to make the taskbar subscribe to DownloadsIndicatorData for updates.
