Hi all -

my firefox (firefox 3.6.13, OS X 10.6.6) has recently stopped giving growl notifications for completed downloads, and i can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it. i don't remember doing anything to make it stop, except maybe for installing "download status bar" addon, but i've uninstalled that now.

everything else (simple notifier, thunderbird, etc.) works fine. i uninstalled/reinstalled growl, including the tickets in the application support folder. thunderbird and the others re-registered with growl, but firefox just doesn't show up in the applications list. i tried it in safe mode too.

is there some way i can test what's going wrong, or debug it?

i asked in the growl support forum, but the developers told me to come here.

thanks!

ok, after spending a few hours testing, it turns out "download status bar" was the culprit. here's the explanation and how to fix it:

"download status bar" disables growl notifications (see growl.info) for "all downloads complete" on firefox 3.6.13 on the mac. (don't know about windows).

notifications remain disabled if you disable download status bar in the addons window.

if you then uninstall download status bar in the addons window, growl notifications remain disabled, permanently.

the workaround is to re-install download status bar, enable it, and then uninstall it. in other words, if you uninstall download status bar it while it's disabled, it won't be properly uninstalled. it will prevent growl notifications from working. it must be enabled before you uninstall it.
