why doesn't the downloads window in firefox 3.6.25 display all downloads?

more options

whenever i download a web page or attachment, the downloads window in firefox 3.6.25 remains blank.

the tools' options are set to "show the downloads window when downloading a file." the only other option checked is "save files to" but the browse button doesn't display the downloads window. i've created a downloads folder on my desktop, but i would prefer having the downloads window display all downloads automatically. please advise. thanks.

Do you have "Remember download history" checked in Firefox button > Options > Options (OR Tools > Options) > Privacy ?

Also, do not clear download history when using Clear Recent History or when automatically clearing history when closing Firefox.

If using third-party applications, like CCleaner, be sure that your Firefox options are set to not clear Firefox download history.
