How do I turn off the downloads window?

How do I turn off the downloads window? I recently upgraded FF, hated the new one, so downgraded back. When I upgraded I got the new downloads ribbon at the bottom of the screen and no longer had the downloads window. However, for whatever reason I decided to turn the window on. But when I downgraded I realized that this interferes with programs that I had previously set up to download directly to a certain program. Bottom line... I do NOT want the downloads window.

I know you can go to Tools, then Options, and click the Downloads tab and configure how you want it that way. Do you have the Download Manager Tweak as an add on?
