Comment 3 for bug 742475

I also desire to see this integration. The default XUL notification does not fit in with Ubuntu's general polish. Perhaps this doesn't fit in with the Natty (now Oneiric) timeline, but it seems like @chrisccoulson has noted that something does need to happen. Can we rework this bug to fit what needs to happen, or is there another bug already describing it? Thunderbird, I understand, has received some love in this regard, but Firefox needs a little bit of help too.

I would agree that a non-interactive notification without a way to get to the file downloaded is generally useless in some general-user contexts (though not in others, such as @danillo's use, or mine for that matter). Still, messaging menu integration—I assume this would be the proper place to put the other half of what is needed—cannot be that hard, can it? Someone made Thunderbird do it.

In addition, the issue here is not third-party plugins, but functionality. OP didn't ask specifically for xul-ext-notify, but for integration with Ubuntu's mechanisms for displaying notifications to the user. This could very easily, I think (in my ignorance of how it all works), be simply put into Ubuntu's xul-ext-ubufox plugin, or added as another if desired. Again, I understand that similar work has been done on Thunderbird.

I'm changing the status from Invalid to Confirmed, since this is a) past Natty, as mentioned by @chrisccoulson; and b) more or less confirmed, as I understand Launchpad bug tracking, by both @danillo and now I. Apologies in advance if this is not the right thing to do.
