Make Downloads Icon Bounce when Firefox completes downloads, like Safari

I'd like to make the download folder icon bounce in the dock each time Firefox completes a download, like Safari and Mail does

I've attached a Folder Action and a default script that shows a notification on screen once a download is done, but a single bounce is what I'm after.

Could anyone tell me what script I would need to let this happen?

Thanks for your help!

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.5.2), 23" Cinema Display

I don't think there is anything that you can script to do that, the system bounces the icon to get your attention if something needs your attention but the particular application isn't in front. You might try moving the application to the background or hide it to see if that does what you want.

If I save an attachment from Mail or download a file in Safari, the Downloads folder automatically bounces once, regardless of the application that is front-most.
