Trying to turn on "download complete" notification when downloading through firefox. It is missing. It was suggested in several websites to go to about:config and change the filter "browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete" to TRUE.

However I do not have that filter or the other one that was suggested. Any suggestions how to on the download complete notification some other way?

You get an animation of the toolbar Downloads button when downloads have finished.
