Firefox downloads in queue?

Is there any easy way to make Firefox downloads go to a queue? An extension or something? It's annoying having six different downloads all over 40 MB competing.. Takes so much longer..

I just realized the "Pause" function could be to this effect.. Is there anything that will do it automatically? Some hidden setting I overlooked? Hopefully..

have you tried anything in about:config?

:blink: I didn't even know that existed.

From what I could glean, it looks like anything I could change in there I could change in the Downloads options.. I'm using the Download Manager Tweak extension, if that has anything to do with anything.. Probably not..

i don't think it can be done.. yet.

i haven't seen any extentions or settings that can enable it.. n i have been looking for a long time.. it's annoying like u said when it competes.. the best thing i've done is gotten the Downloadwith (http://downloadwith.mozdev.org/) extentions.. n redirect all my downloads to Flashget... it also works with loads of other download managers out there... u can give it a whirl...

Yah, I thought about just going back to one of my download managers, but it's so much neater to have one program.. :happy: I'd be content to hit "pause" if I knew I'd only have to wait until the next version comes out.. How can we suggest this for the next release? Or maybe there's a nightly build.. I doubt it..

This feature has been asked for many times. The standard reply is that Firefox is no download manager, nor should it have the featureset of one. Download managers exist for the purpose, while browsers do not.

So I don't think you'll be getting this feature unless something changes by 1.0.

    • Windows 11 DPI Scaling

      By flynempire · Posted

      Good afternoon, I have a customer who purchased a Dell laptop last year. One of the latest Inspirons. they are older so it can be a bit hard to see things on the screen. They are using Windows 11 Home 23H2, I have not upgraded them yet to 24H2. What I did was changed the scaling to 150% and that automatically made all the icons on desktop bigger and using in Chrome webpage elements are bigger etc. The thing is I overlooked the Taskbar and the icons most notably hidden within the arrow pointing up. I though by changing to 150% the scaling even the taskbar would get bigger. Again I don't know how I missed seeing that. Is this something that can be fixed? One other thing is I notice in File Explorer things are also small and not larger after the change. Can this be fixed as well?   Thank You.
    • Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26 by Hamid Ganji Apple held its WWDC25 event this month to unveil a slew of AI features and its new design for operating systems, known as Liquid Glass. While iOS 26 currently has no shortage of features, the iPhone maker might still have some features under wraps that didn’t make a debut at this month’s WWDC. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple didn’t announce two iOS 26 features at the WWDC event. The first feature is a live translation of conversations via AirPods, and the latter is the ability to sync your wireless network login information across devices at a hotel or gym. Even though these features were already tipped to arrive in iOS 26, Apple held them from the event, presumably because they’re still not ready to ship. Apple appears to have learned from its experience with Apple Intelligence and aims to break the habit of unveiling new features before they are ready for release. The Live Translation on iOS 26 is currently integrated with popular apps like Messages, FaceTime, and Phone to help users break language barriers and communicate in different languages. The feature is now under development for AirPods, allowing users to hear real-time speech translations. Moreover, the WiFi syncing feature allows you to sync your sign-in information across your entire Apple ecosystem, enabling you to connect to a public WiFi network with ease. This would eliminate the need to sign into a WiFi network separately on each device. While these features haven’t arrived in iOS 26 yet, they’re more likely to be released later this year, in October or December.

    • Intel Nova Lake alleged performance shows massive improvement, could answer AMD 3D V-cache

      By OldGuru · Posted

      Intel Level L4 cache has been around for a long time, so AMD Zen 3D Cache is a copy of Intel L4 cache that was introduced with Broadwell i7-5775c, which had 128mb of Level L4 cache. Secondly, Zen 6 is not faster in single-threaded performance than 13900k/14900k. 285k is something new Intel is trying, basically showing us that chiplet design does not work for gaming, just like AMD design does not work for gaming. Throwing more cores at it and having L4 cache won't fix the issue, and that is frame dip and stuttering caused by a very stupid design decision to keep the memory controller outside the compute tile. Might as well put a memory controller by bringing back a south bridge chip. lol

      Just like AMD Zen, it is not going to work for gaming despite 3D Cache. Frame dip and stuttering are giving, which renders 14900KS the greatest gaming CPU ever released.
