 > OK, how will we communicate to the user that the files have been indeed
 downloaded and where they were downloaded to? The relevant UI bits need to
 be removed as well.

 It's not as easy as you think to modify the Firefox UI, as far as I'm
 aware. You can really only modify it by editing the default preferences.
 They're pretty extensive, but I don't think you can change that. Maybe
 changing the theme would work, if it doesn't increase the risk of
 fingerprinting? An `LD_PRELOAD` hook would also work, but it would be
 fragile.
