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.

This is part of the new download behavior in Firefox 98, which is explained in this article and in the Firefox 98 release notes. Related bug report, in case it helps: (See Bugzilla Etiquette on bug report comments)

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?
