I would like a download bar

Hi there,

There are some issues regarding downloads: First of all, I think a much needed option is a download bar/list so that opening a download after downloading just takes 1 click and forms a list of only recents (like in Chrome) Secondly there are some issues:

1. I can make Firefox automatically save files instead of asking me to open/save them, except for zip-files, which is weird and also very annoying 2. When the pop-up explorer screen comes to ask me where to save, it gets stuck for about 30 seconds (I have a very speedy pc, and I think it doesn't happen in other folders, but I'm not sure) this does never occur in other programs/browsers 3. Some downloads don't finish properly, they download but get stuck at the end, this also doesn't happen in other browsers.

I really hope these things can be fixed with the highest priority, cause it really keeps me from switching to firefox (from Chrome) altogether, and I would really like to do this with my 400+ employee company (not to brag, but just emphasizing it needs to work perfectly for people to be able to switch) We made the switch in 2014 when your new CEO turned out to be homophobic, but switching is not easy so coming back right away was impossible. i feel it's time to try again now ;)

Thank you very much for your time and dedication.

PS: I know there are plugins for the download bar suggestion, but I think they either look messy or need double-clicking and then approval, which is simply too much. I need a one-click solution.
