You can use the Library dialog to view your downloads in a separate window. If you click the downward pointing arrow and choose Show All Downloads, then you will open the Library dialog to that section.

If you prefer the old dialog, there apparently is a way to switch back. I haven't tried it myself. Check out this thread: Got new version, want to go back to previous download box, the new one has no history and doesn't show speed of download, how do I go back?

You can also open the about:downloads page in a tab or new window.
