Dear Firefox community, I do not know why you are not solving your browser-short time memory loss problem! When I download a video / file, the internet is disconnected in the middle, and it takes a while to connect, then the download starts again from 0%! It wastes both my time and the internet. If the power connection is disconnected while downloading again - I don't get any backup of that file when I connect to the internet after the power connection is restored ...! However, other browsers have this advantage. I like Firefox a lot, but this short time memory loss system bothers me a lot. I hope to fix this issue in the next update.

What is causing your internet to fail? Have you contacted your ISP?

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager.


This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org It is a powerful modern download accelerator and organizer for Windows and Mac.

Giving a link to a download manager is not a solution. And it is not necessary to know what kind of service my ISP provides. And I don't think I can explain my problem to you. I may be disconnected during the download. And in that case, I want my download to start all over again. This is what I want even when the internet is disconnected. -thank's again

I did not ask about your ISP services. I asked if you contacted them about the signal loss.

Some download managers, when the link is lost, can continue the file transfer from where it left off when the link returns.
