Download Sound by BPS

Rated 4 out of 5
by SaladGoat, 8 years agoMy previous review (for version 1.2): Does what it says, but would be nice to use my own sound - not a fan of the one included. Five stars for custom sound files. :)
Developer responds that Extensions cannot access local files.
I used to use Download Status Bar, which allowed use of custom sound files. But that's not an Extension and won't work in newer Firefox. So maybe not allowing access to local files is new in Extensions. If so, that sucks. If not, please keep trying! :)
I appreciate the new volume adjustment and other notification options.
Rarely, for reasons unknown, it will turn itself off. Simple and quick fix of Disable then Enable (no need to restart Firefox), so only a minor annoyance. Doesn't happen often though.
Otherwise, a great Extension!

posted 8 years agoThank you! I'm open for any tips regarding access to locally stored files from web extenstions because I'd really like to see the feature "Custom sound files" as well.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Dan Harkless, a year agoWorks great, unlike the Noise extension, which I loved back in the pre-WebExtension days, but which I've never been able to get to make any sounds, using the modern WE version.
Kind of a bummer, though, that you can't customize your own sound (I don't want to use voices).
Also, it would be really nice if you would offer the option (like Noise, when it works) to set up a Failed Download sound that's different from the Successful Download sound, and make both of them optional (I would generally prefer to only use a Failed sound, not a Successful one). - Rated 2 out of 5by Zim, 3 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17730893, 4 years agoThis used to work up until recently. Now, no matter which english (US) male voice I choose, it only plays the same robotic female voice.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Akira, 5 years agohey, this is pretty good, but it'd be cool if we could set our own sounds to play when it started/finished/failed a download, maybe even for pausing and resuming
