In Quantum, is there any way to auto show download panel popup when download start, like old firefox<57?

VERY Often time I am not aware of download starting, and downloaded multiple copies of some file. Then I have to delete them. Very annoying.

I don't want to be prompt about download location. Just want a more visible download notification instead of the sneaky blue arrow.

Thanks for super fast relpying.

I already have the download button visible. Just that when download start, the feedback is not strong enough to catch my attention.

Maybe I am wrong about the download panel. May it was just a very big arrow fading animation in old firefox.

Hi, that does not look like a Arrow. You sure not using something else like a IDM ?

Hi, all I know is my 60.0.1 does not look like that and do not think my ver 59 looked like that.
