in firefox 4.o.1 the download box no longer shows size of file and the file disappears when finished. Previous versions did not do this. How do I reset to the older feature?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
