I hide the app when I am DLing. I do NOT want it to reappear when the DL is done (it never used to). How can I accomplish this?

When a DL is done, I want the app to stay hidden - no bounce in the dock, no message, no window reappearing on the desktop.

You can set the browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete pref to false on the about:config page.
