XUL - firefox last downloaded file

Question

Is there a simple way to get the name of the last file downloaded from a xul app for firefox?

I want to get this file and post it to a url of my choice

Answer 1

You can use the Downloads.jsm JavaScript code module

You need to import the module with:

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Downloads.jsm");

You can then obtain the download list:

var list = Downloads.getList(Downloads.ALL);
