Not only resets, you cannot activate the old way in the Settings anymore. It is hidden in about:config (set browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel to false), but even if you switch back to it, there's still changes that break things. * With the about:config setting off, tabs that had PDF files from the internet open in them will now, when first loaded, suddenly show the popup. If you choose "Open in Firefox" there, the file gets downloaded to a temp folder, opened in a new tab for some reason, and the new tab's address is the temp file. So, after restarting the browser again, it's broken, because the temp file has been deleted. * In the new mode (I switched back because of the above...), I have set ZIP files to "Ask me", and even if I pick "Open with ..." in the popup, it still downloads the file into the default downloads folder, instead of the temp folder. So now I have to clean that folder up regularly, I guess. * Lots of people on connect.mozilla.org are complaining that the little Download Manager, the popup you get when clicking on the Downloads icon in the toolbar, now annoyingly always opens whenever you download any file. The FAQ (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-downloads-prefer...) about this also sounds kinda condescending: > I want to approve each download before it happens, is there still a way to do this? Firefox no longer shows the dialog because downloads are usually intentional. Having to click a second time for a download to start is usually unnecessary. This is really irritating, I'm for the first time in a long while considering switching to Chrome. |
