Hi: Every time I download a file, Firefox shows an annoying dropdown with a list of downloaded files. This big dropdown keeps visible disturbing my vision on the screen, so I have to hide it on every download.

I tryed this, About:config browser.download.panel.shown

But it seems the new Firefox is not saving that settings.

Thank you.

Hola Gerardo: Así es, puedo cambiar el valor de "browser.download.panel.shown" pero Firefox no retiene los cambios. Intenté salir con el menú exit y reiniciando el navegador, sin resultados. Saludos.
