I used to have the browser.download.useToolkitUI true set to true, but when I updated to Aurora 27.0a2 , even with the boolean set to true, it is still using the new download manager,

hello Flamewar07, the preference for the old download manager was only made available for a transitional period and got no longer maintained. since it is now causing issues in private browsing windows and with a new download API it will be removed from firefox 27 and onwards...

They even fast tracked this change as of Firefox 26.0b1 actually so the this preference no longer works.

For reading and not discussing see bugs like 928349 , 899110 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Desktop/Downloads_API

I guess that answers the question, I will be downgrading ( AKA not upgrading ). Firefox is beginning to not be Firefox!
