Document download folder is appearing each time we print and would like to change that setting so it does not default to that.

We are running a software application and using Firefox as the default browser. For printing we have set the default to Adobe PDF due to some printing requirements for the documents we use. We print a lot of documents and each time we have to the Download history window appear and we have to close or minimize that. Is there a way to change the default settings for that not to appear or to eliminate that functionality?

With the change in Firefox 20 from the old Download Manager to the new Download Panel, I thought you would only get the automatic appearance one time: for the first download on the new system, so you could see the connection between the arrow on the toolbar and the download panel. Have you overridden the new panel and gone back to the old dialog?
