Firefox... taming the beast !

That box is under Tools > Downloads.

The problem here is, I've been using the userChrome.css file for maybe 8-9 years.
If it ever did something else, I don't remember.

It may also be something in Tools > Settings I guess?



Mine is set like this...

The downloads progress bar is under Tools > Downloads.

It's been that way as long as I can remember.


If there is a setting for downloads in userChrome.css I don't know where...

You sure it wasn't another browser?
I ONLY use Firefox, and I haven't seen a popup progress bar for downloads, in as long as I can remember.

Maybe if you turn OFF the Menu Bar in "Customize" you'll get a popup like that.
I ALWAYS run with Menu Bar turned ON.

Since I've always had Menu Bar turned on... maybe that's why I never see a popup progress bar for downloads?
