(In reply to Anca Soncutean [:Anca], Desktop Release QA from comment #7) > Should this issue be reopened based on CarlosT’s previous comment: “if I set browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel to true, the bug is still there.” (although the mentioned pref is not default on true for now in beta, but it is in nightly)? So I think there's two issues here: 1. The download panel opens much more frequently when the `browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel` is true. This happens when there are no other downloads in progress and _another pref_ `browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel` is also true. By setting the latter to false, the panel [will not open if it hasn't already](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/fac07284a9a996ddf968ea53adaf25c2a8b7c520/browser/components/downloads/DownloadsCommon.jsm#925-930). 2. The downloads panel always being on top another window seems to already be an issue on release. I've reproduced this on Firefox 94.0 on ubuntu. The introduction of the `browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel` made this more obvious (which we should file a separate ticket for anyway). For now, you should be able to set `browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel` to false from about:config.
