in the lower right hand corner of the screen, how do I stop the download window from poping up each time I download something?
In the lower right hand corner of my screen, everytime I download, a download window pops up, that scans what I downloaded for a virus then gives me a message that says download is complete. How do I disable that feature?.

To turn off the alert you can change a hidden preference.
- Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Locate the preference browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete and double-click on it to change its value to false
- If you want to stop Firefox requesting a virus scan, double click on the preference browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to change its value to false
Hey T;

It is also known as the address bar.
Thanks a million T;
It's working great now. Happy Holidays!.
