Hey sajolida and anonym,

there a way from inside the page to know when the download of the ISO image
started or when it has finished?

button is the best we can do?

I think there's no reliable way to detect if download has started. Most
sites use click on the download button as a signal and that's why they
mostly show the message 'Click here if your download has not started'.

that.

No extra effort would be required to rename.

. But if that's not trivial we shouldn't bother :)

Not sure if Firefox would automatically change the url if we submit the
renamed addon. The best way to find it is to either contact their support
or do an experiment.

Extension and in Chrome they would still be able to use the add-on. To keep
the same mechanism that we're using now: if there is no JS, then we show
people a button to directly download the XPI and they can still use it.

Confirmed in chrome, even if javascript is disabled, extensions can still
use javascript. So extensions should be fine even if javascript is disabled.

I signed up with username uzairfarooq.

ask Uzair to do more work than planned initially so I just wanted to make
it clear that we're open to extending the budget that you gave us to cover
more work as we go asking for more. We'd rather pay a bit more and get more
work done than stick with what we agreed upon and feel limited.

Thanks for mentioning. Minor changes are fine, I'll let you know if the
work exceeds our initial budget.
