1759301 - All downloads now show the download progress pulldown as a sticky menu.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1749998

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[cougarjunk]

Attachment: FIrefox 98 download status bug 3-12-22.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0

Steps to reproduce:

Down load a PDF (or picture) file using the "download button" in the default viewer.

Actual results:

The file is downloaded correctly but the on-going download progress pull-down menu is also displayed. A click is required to dismiss it.
This is an irritant and requires an extra click on EVERY download!

Expected results:

The download progress pull-down menu should not be displayed by default.
It should only be displayed when the download progress button is clicked.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Downloads Panel' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

You can turn off browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel in about:config if you find this behaviour annoying. We will likely add a context menu to the downloads panel for this in a future version of Firefox.
