i sometimes download a bunch of files all at ones then have to go back to review them. but i don't need the browser open to do this just the download window. in older versions the download window would remain open after i closed the browser but i don't see a way to do that anymore?

You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.download.manager.quitBehavior

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

this did nothing for the actual download window. i changed it from 0-4 and nothing changed. when the browser is closed the download window also closes. my problem is that the files are all downloaded, nothing pending, but i wish the download window to remain open ever until i personally close it.
