I can't close the "show all downloads" window. The window is maximized and has no icons.
When I open the "show all downloads" screen on my Mac, it fills the whole screen and has no icons to close,minimize. Only way seems to quit firefox. See attached screenshot.

You should be able to close windows like about:preferences and the Library window via Command+W. You can delete xulstore.json in the Firefox profile folder to recover from this issue. Make sure that you have closed the Firefox application before deleting the xulstore.json file. Closing open windows isn't sufficient on Mac, so make sure to use "File > Quit" to close Firefox application and close the menu bar. This can happen if you have switched the Firefox window to full screen mode and have opened this window while being in Full Screen mode.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
