Hello. I just updated to the latest version -- 55.0.3 yesterday and 56.0 today.

Usually under the arrow pointing down for the downloads -- It ALWAYS shows the time remaining when one is downloading.

Since the update -- when the download starts - the arrow just blinks sort of -- But there is No time remaining displayed.

Kindly help with this Issue

Regards Naeem

Firefox 53 was the last version that showed a horizontal progress bar and the time remaining in place of the download arrow. In Firefox 54-56, the arrow is a vertical progress bar itself, and in order to see the time remaining, you have to click the arrow to show the panel.

I think at least one person is working on an extension to replace the download button with something similar to the old display but I didn't find it in a search.
