I know there were quite a few people that did not like the 98.0 update to the Downloads Panel... but I was definitely not one of them, haha. I loved it, and so did several friends of mine! Unfortunately, I, along with my 4 Windows devices, no longer have that feature. :( When something is downloaded, I am now prompted with the Windows prompt to "Open with Firefox , Open , or Save" instead of it popping up in the Download Panel with the "Open , Save" options. When I choose save and the location, the file is downloaded and a green checkmark shows on the download icon, but it doesn't open.

Strangely, it DOES open if I have that file type set to "Open with Firefox" automatically... but no other option does it work for, when it 150% did before. I have the "Show panel when download begins" option checked, and I also made sure my about:config option is "true" - still doesn't work. :'( Can anyone help me? Thank you so much!
