Automatically open the Downloads panel
In the new version, the Downloads panel automatically opens whenever I save/download a file.
The problem... it STAYS open.
How can I turn it off? I already know where and how to check on my downloaded files. I do not need to see the downloads panel pop up every time I save a file. And I definitely do not need or want it to stay open, causing yet another need for a mouse click to make it go away.

Note that this is controlled by this pref.
- about:config => browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox
WARNING: modifying prefs directly via the about:config page can sometimes break Firefox or cause strange behavior, and there is no guarantee that this will keep working in future Firefox releases.
Many thanks, cor-el!
unfortunately this setting seems to reset automatically to "true" after a new download...works as designed?
