I've tried out Firefox for the 1st time ever today (& still am) & when I download something, after the Download completes, for no reason at all, a 'Download' screen shows up outta nowhere, & it's very annoying. I've discovered that in the Browser 'Tools' tab, this 'Download' screen can be summoned manually, so there's no reason for it to waste my time after every Download. <_< Can this be stopped?

I've tried examing it's 'Options', & suspect this screen of bein the culprit:

I've tried changing various options on this screen, & exit the options, then return to this screen, & the options won't quit resetting to this set of settings. Why?

Many thanks for your time.

P.S. Firefox is wierd. But I saw this coming a mile away since i'm accustomed to IE. Speakin of which, does Firefox have a Spell checker, & if so, where?

Edit. oops, cancel on the spell checker info. I accidentially stumbled on it by accident when I accidentially right-clicked an underlined word. :blush:

Is it annoying you that the download window isn't closing, or that it's there at all? 
In the main options window you can check 'close it when downloads are finished', if that's it. If you don't want the box at all, you could uncheck 'show the Downloads window when downloading a file' right above it.

If that's not it, then I'm not sure what else you'd be talking about.

Woohoo!!! This solved it! So I was looking for the solution in the wrong place. Many thanks! :)

What was happening was I would Download something, then when it finished, the 'Downloads' Window would stick itself right in my face & make me deal with it before I could continue my web surfing, & it was annoying because it was getting in my way & not doing anything useful to justify it. Now it's outta my way. If I ever wanna use that window, i'll summon it manually. If I don't summon it manually, I probably don't need it & it doesn't need to be standing between me & the Internet.

Yeah, the default setting on that is pretty annoying. Glad I could help.  [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/smile.png[/smilie]
