On a related note, I dont see a downloads manager in ff preview nightly? It it hidden? Not implemented yet?
astarq commentedon May 24, 2020
Any update on this? It was one of Fennec's best features.

Since the original comment lists two proprietary download managers, I just want to mention that there are proper free and open source download managers available on F-Droid.
Aria2App (open source) (Aria2App allows you to handle your downloads on aria2 wherever you are!) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.gianlu.aria2app
Download Navi (Download Navi is a free and Open Source download manager for Android 4.4+) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.tachibana.downloader
If at all Fenix advertises support for download managers, they should be FOSS ones.

We are adding support for this on mozilla-mobile/android-components#7923 but we need UX feedback as we need to expose a setting for activating it. Should we just add another setting under the "Advance" section?

Well, yeah? Now that the stable version of Fenix is rolled out, the normal feature train is probably back on track. Nightly -> Beta -> Release, except for things like about:config which are explicitly blocked for now.

I know this is old, but would be cool to select one default download manager (Which currently isn't an option).
