For Ubuntu Unity (15.04), why doesn't Firefox support progress bar and badge counter?

When downloading files, a progress bar and badge counter can be helpful and until recently, was a feature which was available through an add-on. The add-on has since, stopped working. The feature is available from Chrome and Opera, for Ubuntu, and even OS X (for OS X only Chrome has this feature and interestingly, the progress bar is present for Firefox, although OS X Firefox lacks the badge counter). Being familiar with the feature, having used different OS's and browsers, this is an excellent feature and is a natural extension of the OS, such as OS X and Ubuntu which use "dock icons". I consider it a type of "garnishment" that elevates the browser. Small things make things immeasurably elegant. It would be great if this feature is incorporated into the next version of Firefox.

Also, as an aside, I've noticed that Firefox on OS X (Macbook Pro, Mountain Lion) uses a lot of CPU cycles (approaching > 40% and sometimes 90%+) when playing HD content from Youtube. This is less of a problem in other browsers and note that the default was changed to HTML5 for all browsers. The laptop has no problems playing HD content through media players such as VLC. I'm unable to compare this problem against my PC (i5-3570K) because Firefox Ubuntu on my PC will only play videos at 360p. I can't seem to change this even after a reinstall and refresh.

Thanks, Joe

If you have the url of the badge counter and the progress bar there are support links on the addon pages. I personally have not tried the addons, but sometimes after updates add ons are disabled because they were not compatible. It is possible that the developer is still updating it and this information is usually on their website or can be asked by their contact information.

I can also offer general performance tricks, but not for the specific add on:

I hope this helps.
