Is there an API to control downloads in Firefox add-on SDK?

Question

In Firefox, is there an API equivalent to Google Chrome's chrome.downloads API?

I need to control downloads with functions such as pause, resume, and cancel. In addition, I want to be able to remove the downloaded file.

If there is no API in Firefox add-on SDK, is it possible to do the same things in another way?

Answer 1

The API's are (links to documentation on MDN):

• Downloads.jsm
• Download
• DownloadTarget
• PlacesUtils.There is good info at paa's answer to the question: API to modify Firefox downloads list
