*There is currently an extension for Firefox that allows you to have downloads in a sidebar, however this feature is not recommended for Mum&Dad users because internet-beginners have difficulty closing Sidepanes. This is evident from the number of times I've seen people using IE and having their favourites sidepane on all the time because they don't know how to close it (stupid yes, but it's /*very*/ common!) Plus having a sidepane appear is rather jarring and scary since the whole page content might move all over the place due to smaller browser area. | *There is currently an extension for Firefox that allows you to have downloads in a sidebar, however this feature is not recommended for Mum&Dad users because internet-beginners have difficulty closing Sidepanes.

The Download Manager in Firefox was originally a sidebar, but it was moved to a separate window around 0.6 (?). – [[User:Minh Nguyen|Minh Nguyễn]] <small class="plainlinks">([[User talk:Minh Nguyen|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Minh Nguyen|contribs]], [http://mxn.f2o.org/index.html blog])</small> 11:38, 19 Jul 2005 (PDT) | |||
