how could i disble the download bar showing itself automaticly...? it only waste the user time that if the user downloading 1000 up pictures by each click with using mouse....because when a user download 1 picture, he must click on a blank place to ensure not click the wrong place (downloading progress).

I hope if user downloading pictures, the download bar dont disturbing the user each times! It make me crazy

  • Firefox no longer asks what to do for each file by default
  • Downloads panel automatically opens
  • Downloaded files are saved to disk
  • Set a default app to open a file type
  • "Always Open Similar Files" option from the Downloads panel
  • Frequently asked questions


You can set this pref to false on the about:config page to prevent opening the download panel on each download.

  • browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
