There used to be a download bar at the bottom of the page and has worked fine until now. Today I found the download bar gone and the download window back in effect.
Is there a way to get the download bar back? It is much better then the window. Thanks

2.0.0.x never had this; you likely used either a trunk nightly of Firefox 3 or Firefox 3 beta 3.  Or, perhaps, you're talking about some extension?

Regardless, -> INVALID, based on your user-agent.

I don't remember changing anything on Firefox. It just stopped working. Also I used to get a little blue box next to a lick and when you placed tor mouse over it, it opened a window to view the contents without opening the link. That is also gone.
What happened? Should I download Firefox 3 beta and would I get those benefits back on beta 3?
Thanks

That's not out-of-the-box Firefox functionality, so you were using some extension.

If you download Firefox 3 beta 3 again (or a trunk nightly from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/), you will most certainly get the download-progress-in-statusbar functionality again; doing so with the same profile (shared between Firefox 2 and 3), though, might result in profile corruption.
