Is there any way QA can verify that the JS API is used in the cases mentioned in bug description?

As long as the useJSTransfer preference is true and downloads are correctly cleared, this means that the operation is done by the JavaScript API.

I used the latest 26.0a1 builds across main platforms (Ubuntu 13.04, Win 7 and Mac 10.7.5) to verify that there is a "Clear List" option in the Downloads panel and "Clear Downloads" Library and these options remove all the finished&stopped downloads from the list.
Marking the bug Verified.
