Moved 'XXXben - blake, we need at the very least a toggle here, probably a
retention window as well' comment to this bug from the Download Manager History
to fix Bug 204134.  Since this was added by Ben, I created this bug to let the
developers decide if they want to implement this functionality.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the prefs window and go to Privacy
2. Select Download Manager History


Expected Results:  
Options to toggle Download Manager History and set a retention window should be
available.
A bit of a no-brainer bug. We should have reported this ages ago guys :)

After Hyatt's "The Mother Of All Download Landings, Phase I" it now reads,
instead of XXXBen: "THESE OPTIONS DO NOT WORK YET.
Remove files from the Download Manager:
-Upon successful download
-When Firebird exits
-Manually".
The options are gone. There's no comment either.

Fixed. To turn off the download manager's tracking of your download history,
change the retention option to "Upon successful download". (Canceled downloads
remain, just use the Clean Up button to get rid of those).
