Firefox Add-on: Auto Resume Downloads
"Auto Resume Downloads" is a convenient Firefox add-on designed to improve your downloading experience. If a download fails due to a non-human error (e.g., internet disconnection, server timeout), this extension automatically attempts to resume the download within one minute of the failure. However, it does not resume downloads that were cancelled by the user or due to the browser's closure. Enhance your online efficiency with the automatic resume of interrupted downloads.

User reviews
I do not recommend this add-on! Because it will check every minute your download history (this will slow down your browser). Search for "Restart Interrupted Downloads" for an alternative add-on.
