When I click on the "Downloads" button, there are always only 3 most recent downloaded files shown in the list. Can I increase that number?

Chosen solution

If you want to download more at the same time, increase under about:config network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server

If you want to see more items that you have downloaded before, install this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-panel-tweaks/?src=cb-dl-updated And change the first line into the amount you want to see (see picture)

Thank you!

The add-on "Download Panel Tweaks" is the thing I was looking for. It allows users to modify the height of download rows and width of the panel as well, which is great.

However it's a pity that all these useful options are not available in Firefox by default.
