Grishilde H. Johansen from Mikladalur, Denmark asked:

I do not use any extra software for managing downloads. I often download files using FireFox. Most of the download manager application provides an option for shutting down computer when download completes. Can it be achieved by using FireFox?

Aditya from TechRavings.info answers:
