after saving a file the "download list of files" pops up - where do i turn this off?
I browse web, I see an image to save. prior to today (03-09-2022) I click save as and it saved file to my downloads folder. but today, I click save as and instantly the list of files I saved pops up on right side. below the list of files it shows "show all downloads"
this window is easily accessible by left clicking clicking the download icon. i do not want this box popping up on each file/image saved. or rather, why is it doing it suddenly?
running 2 addons: TinEye - reverse image search Video DownLoadHelper
both of these I have zero issues with and have been running them both circa firefox 45? or older

In Firefox 97 and 98+ there have been changes to the download panel.
You can set this pref to false on the about:config page to prevent opening the download panel on each download.
- browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel = false was set to false. tried changing it to true, didn't help. however, that suggestion got me on the right track.
browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel = false browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel = false
needed to be changed to false and that solved the issue.
so, Thank You Very Much!
