When I use an app that does a download. I get a drop down box with all the recent downloads. How do I stop this? When I use an app that uploads, I still get the download drop box. Tried to do screen capture but any keystroke causes the pop up to disappear.

Unfortunately, to stop that happening, you need to set the following preference to false in about:config: browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel
