Rocky 1,224 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 The Download system. If I am downloading a file, there's a download dialog on the screen, showing progress. Fine. If I shut down all my firefox windows, the pigging download stops too! This is sooo annoying and has cost me sooo much time and wasted effort I am CERTAIN IE does not do this. Is there a FF setting I am missing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nutlink 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I've never had this problem before. As a matter of fact I just downloaded the Jericho demo (the first FPS in years with soul swapping, !) with all my windows closed except the download window. I have had it stop at times though, but usually when it's a download off of FilePlanet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Giampi 39 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Downloads doesn't stop for either if I close all the windows. However I prefer to use another extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Papa6 88 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Interesting, further invvestigation required then... yeah Roco, i can download still after I close firefox mate. perhaps check your options area. I like starting a DL, then turn Firefox off and let the DL run on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like starting a DL, then turn Firefox off and let the DL run on. Um... that's Rocky, not Roco. I don't like firefox myself. I prefer cleartype and firefox always seemed slower for me on XP. Never loaded it to vista as IE works fine and most corporate customers don't use it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
