Hi FRG,
In a previous post I reported that the add-on "Download Status Bar 15.0.0.1"
was not working in 2.53.1,
and you explained that Mozilla has taken out some API which allowed that
add-on to work in 2.49.5.
As per your statement above, should we assume that some improvement or change
has been applied to 2.53.1 which now allows "download dealing add-ons" to work ?
I am asking that because I use this add-on a lot and at this moment that is
the only thing preventing me to move to 2.53.1.
Thanks and best regards,
Rubens
The Downloads api totally changed. It was previously implemlented in c++ and
is now done via javascript.

Firefox switched to it in 24 and the old one was taken out by mozilla for 53
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1319762
Assume these old add-ons will never work again unless updated by the author.
Might even need further changes in SeaMonkey. I am not 100% happy with the
current state of the integrated download manager and the progress dialog still
has some problems too.
The bookmarks (places) api got a similar treatment. Not as drastic but the
result is more or less the same.
Other than this most should still work. Things like NoScript and uBlock
classic are essential.
