Auto Clear Downloads List in Firefox 15 without turning off browsing history (for some reason they are one option)?

Firefox 15.0.1
"Remember my browsing and downloads history"
In previous versions they were separate check boxes.
I tried "about:config" :
"browser.download.panel.removeFinishedDownloads" changed to "true" but it didn't seem to do anything. Not sure if that is the correct variable too.

Hi,
One option you could try is to enable clearing of '''Download History''' in '''Tools '''('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Options '''> [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Privacy%20panel?as=u Privacy] > '''Settings''' when Firefox exits.

The [https://services.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/discovery/addon/config-descriptions/ Config Descriptions] add-on adds helpful source comments in about:config.
As of now, the browser.download.panel.removeFinishedDownloads seems to work only with the new downloads panel in [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/ Aurora].
EDIT:
The new downloads panel can be enabled/disabled in the current Firefox release version as well as the [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/ Beta] version by toggling browser.download.useToolkitUI. Thanks TheOldFox.
