How can I get my downloads to open automatically instead of opening under the arrow in the right hand corner?

All of the sudden my files are all downloading to the arrow in the right hand corner of the screen. How can I get them to download automatically as they always have?

Hello,

I don't think that I understand your problem correctly and it would be great if you could specify it: What happens when you try to download files? What has changed?

Also, could you please find out and post the version of Firefox you are using? You can find out this way.

That download button that you see on the Navigation Toolbar allows to see recent downloads and possibly go to the Downloads Manager (Library) to see all the download.

Downloads are still stored on the hard drive like they used to be. You only do not get a Downloads window open automatically when you start a download if that is what you expect.

There are extensions that can add more download features, so you can do a search on the Add-ons website.
