"The only extension I'd like but cannot find in the download management category is one that lets you return to an interrupted download later, after all the dialogs are closed, and resume where you left off." This statement is incorrect because you have already downloaded and tested an extension which does this... DownThemAll! Not only will it resume a paused download it will recover and pick up the download where it last left off, if a crash or closure occurs. I have seen a lot of improvement in my download speeds with this extension when downloading a file which is located on multiple mirrors (i.e. an http download of an Ubuntu or Fedora iso), frequently seeing double my average download speeds during high traffic times of the day. DownThemAll is worth everyone's time to at least try the extension. I've never met anyone who tried it and did not like it (in fact, some people can't tell it's not part of Firefox due to it's excellent integration with the browser). Whether you keep it or not (for whatever reason) is up to you, however, I doubt anyone will go back to the default download dialog after seeing DTA.
