Mega.nz does not download files via the normal method. They use their own tricks to speed up downloads. This means Firefox cannot display the download status. This is normal.

I don't think the goal is to speed anything up. It's rather about the decryption being implemented client-side. – gronostaj Jul 04 '22 at 11:02
@gronostaj Yeah, I think it's both. – Gantendo Jul 04 '22 at 17:20
