User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0
Steps to reproduce:
Just download some files using Firefox.
Actual results:
Once the download is complete, the download toolbar hides. But after sometimes it starts twitching and closing and opening very fast. It does not happen very frequent, but I think it should not work like that.
Expected results:
Once disappeared, it should not open up automatically without clicking.

Did you observe this behaviour while downloading any specific files or on any specific website?
It's hard to confirm this bug without any leads for the issue, so please if you think of any steps that could cause the issue to provide it.
Thanks.
I downloaded a bunch of different types of files. And it was twitching long after the downloads were complete.

Can you provide your about:support information?

Do you remove downloads from the list, ie is the list empty when this "twitching" happens?
No it is not empty, it has a list of things, that have finished downloading.

Thanks. This is a duplicate of bug 1759231, which is being actively worked on. It's a consequence of one of your add-ons (at least Simple Tab Groups, maybe others) automatically creating and immediately deleting downloads which contain backup information. The creation of the download triggers opening the panel. It sounds like the add-on might now have a hack in place that also causes the panel to hide again (as that isn't listed in bug 1759231).
Until we fix bug 1759231, you can work around by toggling browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel to false in about:config, but then the panel will stop opening automatically for new downloads in general (also ones you initiate yourself).
