Like most of you, I spend bunches of time downloading large files from the Web, typically podcasts and PDF whitepapers. In spite of a blazing fast connection, the download can never complete fast enough, with the process made worse by not knowing exactly how much has been downloaded (at least, without opening Firefox’ Downloads window – Ctrl+J).

Now the download progress can be known at a glance with the Statusbar extension. In addition to providing a progress bar at the bottom of the Firefox window, you can right-click on the bar to open the download’s containing folder, rename the file, and even delete it.
