Hello!

I was just wondering if there was a way to disable the pop-up that appears to confirm the cancellation of an ongoing download ?

I tried searching in the about:config page but didn't find any parameter that looked like it could help me on that.

Thanks in advance!

Confirming cancellation of a download? What does it look like these days? The only time I ever recall seeing anything like that was trying shut down the browser with a download in progress.

Hi kyo1611, There is no confirmation pop-up when cancelling a download. Would you mind sending us a screenshot of what you're seeing? For instructions, see How do I create a screenshot of my problem?.

Are you closing a window (regular or Private Browsing mode) or closing Firefox (Quit Firefox) when this happens ?

Hello everybody, thanks for the replies. It seems I missed to explain an important part ...

Yes I meant the pop-up that appears when I quit Firefox during an ongoing download

I was just wondering if there was a parameter to customize that behavior.

Are you possibly using permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) as you may not be able to resume a download started in PB mode ?
