How can I hide the downloads window?

Hi,
When I download a file the downloads window opens on top of the page I'm viewing. I have to then close it or move it to carry on working on that page. I then go to save another file off the page and the downloads window opens up over the page again. This is flippin' annoying when you're researching and downloading a number of documents off hte same page.
How can I stop the downloads window opening on top when I download files?
Any advice much appreciated :-)
Many thanks!
Evan

There is a way, but it may not be supported for ever... If you want the old download manager back, go to about:config, click the I'll be careful, I promise! button. Then search for "download", and set the browser.download.useToolkitUI preference to true (double-click it).

  • How can I keep the download window plus a status bar in the bottom side of my navigator?

    I downloaded firefox 4 today and the first thing I noticed is that my status bar for downloads at the bottom side of my navigator it's gone! so I downloaded a plugin called "statusbar" and I don't like it at all... it is nothing like my old status bar and it takes away my big download window (the one that you can see even if you minimize the navigator); how can I make it back??
    I like to have both things (the big window and the status bar) and I can't make it back using the options of the plugin.
    Besides that, if I have the new statusbar it doesn't advice me when the download ends (that note that pops up when it's over saying "download finished" really useful when you're watching a video on fullscreen) and I can't change that either from the plugin options!
    I know that not every plugin are made by firefox so if you can't help me please let me know anyway so I can go back to the latest firefox version to have my big downoloads window plus the statusbar at the bottom and the note all at a time!
    THANK YOU!!
    =)

    Hi piepkorg-
    Does your Add-ons manager show the weather toolbar as being installed? I would recommend starting with this article- particularly the sections on managing Add-ons and troubleshooting:
    [[Using plugins with Firefox]]
    Hope that helps!

  • How can i get the downloads window back? i hate the add-on thing at the top right. can i change this?

    I liked how FireFox used to have a downloads window when I would download. But, now its like som sort of add-on, it's at the top right and I dont like it very well. Can I get the window back somehow? Thanks, Lego893.

  • In Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

    in Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed
    Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

    I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
    So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
    Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.

  • How can i hide the menu bar at the bottom of the app in itunes

    how can I hid the bar at the bottom of the App screen in itunes. Where it shows how much audio, app etc space you have left on your device

    Unforrtunately the status bar doesn't make any difference, however I have worked out that the bar does show when I go into full screen. 
    I would have thought it should also work when not in full screen - it certianly used to.

    Hi experts,
    I'm creating a login page and know I have a problem.
    The Username and password are verified in a Java class, after checking the user and password, the user should be linked to the portal.
    So far everything has worked well.
    But when I call the lin like this
    res.sendRedirect ("/ irj / portal j_user =" + UserN + "& j_password =" + passw);
    then the user name and Pwasswort appears in the url.
    Can someone tell me how can I hide the password and user name???
    It will be very helpful.
    Thank you

    If there is no specific reason that you have to use sendredirect...thne you can try request.forward.....
    RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("pathToResource");
      rd.forward(request, response);

  • How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option?

    How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option?  I had someone go into the css I believe, and make it so there were no borders visible on the page (I could see the dotted outline while working on it, but when pushed, it wasn't visible (which is what I wanted).  They called it "noborders."  Since I had to reinstall, it went away.  Help?
    I have Dreamweaver CS5.5

    Try this site:  CSS Border
    Add code then type in a zero. Later add border size you want.
    examples:  border: 0px solid black;
    or
    border: 1px 000000;
    or
         border-top-style: solid; 0px 000000;
         border-right-style: dotted; 0px 000000;
         border-bottom-style: solid; 2px 000000;
         border-left-style: dashed; 1px 000000;

  • I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
    If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

  • How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

    How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

    Hi. To remove the horizontal scrollbar you can do this:
    textArea.setWrapText(true);
    To remove the vertical scrollbar you can do this:
    ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)ta.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
    scrollBarv.setDisable(true);  and set the opacity to 0 in the css file:
    //css file
    .text-area .scroll-bar:vertical:disabled {
        -fx-opacity: 0;
    }Here is an example:
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
    import javafx.event.EventHandler;
    import javafx.scene.Node;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.Button;
    import javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu;
    import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
    import javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar;
    import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
    import javafx.scene.input.ContextMenuEvent;
    import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    public class TextAreaSample extends Application {
        @Override
        public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        final TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
            textArea.setWrapText(true);
            StackPane root = new StackPane();
            root.getChildren().add(textArea);
            Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
            primaryStage.setScene(scene);
            primaryStage.show();
            scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("style.css").toExternalForm());
            ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)textArea.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
            scrollBarv.setDisable(true);
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            launch(args);
    }

    This is Illustrator, no matter which version you are using.
    It doesn't work like in other programmes and Illustrator's behaviour is often undesired.
    There is no good trick that I'm aware of to mimic Draw's or Freehand's way to do it.
