  • Don't prompt for save location by default (make it a preference)

  • Add a Show All button to the downloads toolbar.
  • Only active state downloads should have a white background, completed state items should have a gray background.

  • Show some kind of confirmation when a link is copied to the clipboard. I think using a web notification works here.
  • Ask to confirm whether or not to delete an item after the trash can is clicked
  • Show downloaded file size next to progress complete
  • Downloads toolbar should only display new things since it was opened

Sometimes a download is started but doesn't trigger the download bar. It happened at least twice but I've yet to find out how to trigger it on purpose.

I think I've seen this before too. Once you're in this state can any download show it? Or only a browser restart fixes?

I think only a browser restart fixed it.
If it happens again, I'll report it.

Hasn't happen again.

To prevent rogue websites from downloading tons of files, I think there should still be some sort of prompt.

Fixed in 0.13.5 with #7072.
