Hello,

In Firefox 20 we changed the Downloads Window to a new Downloads Panel. This panel is located on the top-right of your Firefox toolbar.

For more information, see: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/find-and-manage-downloaded-files#w_how-do-i-access-my-downloads.

Hi Filipp

If you want the old download manager back you can do this: In the addressbar you write about:config and hit the Enter Key. Click the I'll be careful, I promise! button. That opens a new tap. In the search field of that tap you write browser.download.useToolkitUI. Below you will see the setting with that name. Double click on it so the value changed to true.
