    Another thing I forgot to mention is that in Seamonkey, you can either open up the Downloads window and watch all your downloads there, or you can, classic-style, open individual windows for each download. It lets you do either one. Firefox, however, requires you do use the downloads window; you cannot open individual things for each download. Also, in Seamonkey, if you do use the downloads manager (it's optional, you can set it to open on downloads or not. I don't have it open), it's easily customizable. You can choose which columns appear, including the name, size, etc, but also start and end times and the download source (ie, the site the file is coming from).

    In Firefox, you get no options. It tells you the time remaining, progress, speed, and amount downloaded (current and filesize), but that's it. Maybe there's an addon that gives you more info, such as the site you're downloading from, but it doesn't exist by default, and that's annoying.

    So yeah, in two ways, I think that Seamonkey does downloads better than Firefox. Firefox has fewer options and is less customizable, and I like some of the things Seamonkey gives you but Firefox doesn't. I can understand why Firefox did this stuff, its downloads window is simpler and more modern-looking, but it's less informative and less customizable. That's not good.

    Another very cool thing Seamonkey does is that when the "save to" box appears, it defaults to the last folder I downloaded something to from that site. Or at least, it usually does; sometimes it's wrong, but it's usually right. This is really, really useful. In Firefox I don't remember ever seeing this happen, it seems to just default to the last place I saved something to period (big difference there), but I don't use it often enough to be certain that it doesn't. I just think it might not.
