First off. I want the old download window back, people keep asking that you revert it, you keep giving us 'workarounds' to have it back then taking said work around out, and the 'new and improved' download window is not only a waste of space, its also a great time waster as well.

But beyond that, I have no recently lost the ability to open / access downloads From the window with a single click (As i did before) now i must go to the folder its downloaded in, and 'each' file opens a 'new' window.

I just cannot see how this is in ANY way an improvement over the old, Not only is it eating up a great deal more screen space, with a lot of useless redundant info, you no longer can simply open/access files with a click as before, and isn't all this new 'fancy' Sh1t just fattening firefox up?

Anyways, I want old firefox download window back(the OLD One, like firefox 10.0 version, the old classic simple and effective window, NOT all of the recent 'improvements' which are such a waste) So anyone able to tell me so? (And please do not suggest the add on which I do have now, but its NOT the same, its the 'old' downloads window from firefox 17ish which disables ability to open directly from window, and is 'slightly' better than this new pos version)

So lack of any assistance (Which I seem to think there won't be any) this is a request to simply just add the old window back so we can choose which we want: The new version for people who want clunky, slow, useless firefox, or the old version which let the browser stay small and snappy.

Note that MOST of the contributors here are volunteers and don't influence the decisions of Mozilla (like me).

There is a addon for this - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downloads-window/

It contains a download window that is very similar to the old one.

Also if you want to provide feedback to Mozilla, you can use their input site here.

it is though unlikely that it will be reversed, and complaining here will do little to nothing about it.

Thank you, you reply WAS helpful, in that if I HAD NOT known about that yes, it IS an improvement over what firefox has done, but its still not the old classic window. This is nice, adn I am trying to contact the author of that add-on in hopes i can get him to add the option, but the option to open from the window doesn't exist(nor with the addon, am I able to code it so that I can do so)

I appreciate both replies, but Still not resolved.

I still don't think it will ever be back by default since Mozilla is planning to completely dumb down the browser.
