How does one set options such that the entry for a successfully downloaded file automatically got removed from the download window?
In earlier versions of Firefox, I could set options such that when a download completed successfully, the download entry was automatically removed from the download windows. I don't seem to be able to get this functionality in ver 13.0.1. In this version, i have to right click on each completed download entry, and choose "remove from List". This is very cumbersome.
I really liked the earlier auto cleanup as it left only pending, current and failed downloads in the Download window - just the stuff I needed to pay attention to. Is there any way to set up ver 13.0.1 to make things work the way they worked so well earlier.
A related issue may be that in the Privacy tab, the option for Browsing and Download history have been combined (were they separate earlier? - don't remember). I want to keep my browsing history but not my download history. I can still clear them individualy in the "Clear Recent History" settings, so why can't I set the control for keeping either individually? Or can I?

The download history is part of the regular browsing history, so you would have to disable the history altogether as you've already noticed.
- Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
- "Remember my browsing and download history"
Firefox manages the downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library.
- Firefox > History > Show All History > Downloads
Future Firefox versions won't use the current download manager (pref: browser.download.useToolkitUI; Bug 726444), but use a toolbar button with a drop down list, similar to the Bookmarks Menu button.
