Can I download a file in different sessions or should it be in a single session? In other words can I pause the download of a file, shutdown/restart my system and then resume download from where I left off? Or will it start from the very beginning?

If a server supports resuming downloads then the download should continue where it left off.
You can test that by simple starting a large download and wait a minute or so before pausing it.
Then you can close and restart Firefox and see if resuming works.


You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
