In the 20.0.1 update, I noticed when you accidentally close your window your browsing it automatically closes your downloads. Can I bypass this?

In the 20.0.1 update, I noticed when you accidentally close your window your browsing it automatically closes your downloads. Previous versions when you close your window and reopen Firefox your downloads are unaffected until your downloads are finished or you cancel it yourself. Is there a setting I can set that my downloads are unaffected when I close my window.

You can set the browser.download.manager.quitBehavior pref to 2 on the about:config page.
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
