Is it possible to restart firefox, say, to activate a download-scheduling add-on, without loosing all of the progress I've already made on my current downloads?

I have two active downloads, about 3 and-a-bit gig total, about 50% complete. I want to finish downloading them off-peak, but since i try to avoid staying up 'till 2 am to start the download, I got a download scheduler add-on. Trouble is, I need to restart Firefox to have it accessible, but previous experience tells me this will waste all my downloads thus far. Given that Firefox can pause and resume downloads while running, I thought it might be possible to resume after restart. Is it?
