We investigated this in bug 1269954. There is a lot of work involved in getting the right user interface here.

Bug 1269954 deals with a lot of UI issues that are unrelated to this request. A one-line change worked for me in DownloadsCommon.jsm at line 770: if (!download.newDownloadNotified) { download.newDownloadNotified = true; this._notifyDownloadEvent("start"); + this.panelHasShownBefore = false; }

It's not like anyone missed that line of code, and spent days discussing other solutions unnecessarily... As far as I can tell right now, we don't have any plans to provide the configuration option you suggested. Although it's a factor in the decision, we don't add configuration options just because they are simple to implement.
