1269024 - Increase the number of items listed in download button list (Show all downloads empty)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

Steps to reproduce:

When I am downloading more than 3 files at the same time and one of them gets interrupted (say download item number 4), I cannot see it in the download button dropdown list as it is limited to list 3 items (hardcoded). This link indicates that the number of download itmes listed is hardcoded to 3 - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975396

I pref to increase this number without having to install an addon would be really useful.


Actual results:

The download button dropdown list only shows 3 items and when I click on "Show All Downloads" the list is completely empty


Expected results:

"Show All Downloads" should display all my downloads, current and past, unless I have cleared history or used private mode. A pref should be available to increase the default number of items listed from 3 to a more sensible number.

I cannot reproduce. The "Show All Downloads" list is correctly displayed for me and the download button dropdown list shows more than 3 items.
