How do you change the downloads section of the library back to the column view like it was in previous versions of firefox?

When you are in the library window in Firefox 20, the downloads section has a bloated box like list of the past downloads. I would like to know how to change the view of this section back to the column view that it was in previous versions of Firefox and that the history and bookmarks sections still use. I like being able to sort my downloads view by clicking on the column headers.

You can set the Boolean pref browser.download.useToolkitUI to true on the about:config page to restore the old download manager window.

I tried that, but the "browser.download.useToolkitUI" preference has no effect on the downloads section of the library window.

That pref restores the previous Downloads window, it doesn't 'fix' anything in the Downloads part of the Library view.

All I would like to do is make the "Downloads part of the Library view" have columns like it used to.
