251003 - user_pref "browser.downloadmanager.behavior" broken.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 233122

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[kenno]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

I want to disable the download manager because I prefer to have a simple quick
popup when a download completes, enabling me to open the containing folder with
juist one click. This should be possible using the pref
"browser.downloadmanager.behavior". However, to whichever value I set this pref
(0,1 or 2), the download manager's behaviour seems to be identical.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Exit firefox
2. Create the following user.js file:
// Turn off the download manager (0=download manager, 1=simple dialog?)
user_pref("browser.downloadmanager.behavior", 1);
<EOF>
3. Restart Firefox
4. (optional) go to about:config in order to check whether Fixefox succeeded to
load the new pref (succesful).
5. Download something.

Actual Results:  
Although the set value for "browser.downloadmanager.behavior" (0,1 or 2) is
displayed in about:config, no difference in the downloading behaviour is observed.

Expected Results:  
Show a simple download dialog like in Firebird 0.7, or any difference in
behaviour at all.

Not broken, removed. Restoring the ability to use 0.7 style dialogs has been
WONTFIXed.
