Are there any forums or places to provide suggestions for Firefox? I would think there would be but it's WAY too buried and definitely not obvious.

I guess I will throw my suggestion out here as well, maybe somebody can forward it if they know where: when you close Firefox, it automatically cancels your downloads! Unlike asking about tabs, it assumes you don't want them. This is just dumb design. What Firefox should do is warn/remind you about them when you try to close instead! It would keep your browser open or alternatively keep just the download manager open (either way would work). This is a simple safeguad that can save a lot of time and it seems so obvious.

If there was a place to suggest this somebody could easily implement a extension. But where?

With any Firefox 3.0+ version, Firefox has always continued a download after I closed the only visible window - a Download indicator appears in the Windows Taskbar that shows the progress of the file being downloaded.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.download.manager.quitBehavior Active downloads will be paused and auto-resumed the next time the browser starts is the default behavior. However some sites do not support resuming downloads and you may want to change this behavior.

If you do have troubles with getting the default setting work at some sites, you can type about:config in the location bar, filter for Browser.download.manager.quitBehavior and set its value to 2 by a double-click -- then Firefox will warn you about downloads on each quit.

You also can try a download manager like DownThemAll and see if that works to resume the downloads in question.

Thanks! Somehow I forgot all about posting this but I will be setting that value to 2. Not sure why that isn't in main preferences though, but at least the functionality is there.
