I would like to get the downloads tab to go back to the way it was, before this most recent update. Now that I have the latest update of Firefox, it moved over to the right. The little hand won't budge it. And the download interface is different, now it is under something called 'library', I liked the old way much better - any way to restore it to that?

Hello, danparker1111.

To restore it to the old download manager, you will need to write about:config in the address bar and click I'll be careful, I promise!. Then make sure you search for browser.download.useToolkitUI at the top, and double-click this so its set to TRUE. From there you have to restart Firefox and you will have the old download window back, however the download history for this window will be blank.

Do however note that this option will most likely be removed in future versions. Submit a feature request if you have an idea on how to improve the download manager.

Can you clarify what you mean with downloads popup/tab

Is this the pop-up that you see when finishing a download or do you mean the pop-up you see if you hover a link?


When a download is in progress then you see a download progress bar on the Navigation Toolbar instead of the Download Manager button and that button is highlighted once the download has finished to make you aware the their are new downloads.

You can view the new Download Manager in a tab by opening the about:downloads page and consider to open this page in a separate window.
