How to open Show all downloads as a tab, not a window

Up until this morning, when I clicked on the "Show All Downloads" it opened in a new tab which is hugely convenient for me, However, this morning when I clicked on it, it opened a new "Library" window instead which is a huge pain in the ass for me. How can I get it back to the functionality it has been doing for over a year for me now?

thanks

Hi bmcelvan,

you can still type about:downloads in the URL bar, or even bookmark it.

Thank you, that is helpful. Unfortunately it did this natively for over a year and for some reason just switched out of the blue overnight, SO SO FRUSTRATING!!! There has got to be a button somewhere.

Thanks for the insight!!

Note that about:downloads is opened by default instead of the Library when you are in Private Browsing mode.
