Today’s tip comes from Bloggy Network sister blog LifeSpy. Thanks for the tip guys!
If there is one thing that drives me nuts it’s pop-ups. Thanks to the built-in pop up blocking in Firefox it’s rarely an issue these days…except when I’m downloading something. The Download Manager pops up, and drives me crazy. Thankfully, there is a fix for that. With the Firefox add-on: Download Statusbar.
This little app handles all your download management neesds in a bar just above your status bar, and even has its own settings so you can customize it to your heart’s content.
Click Here to download Download Statusbar.
I would simply like my downloads to open up in a tab. As long as the focus doesn’t take me to the download tab, would be happy with another tab open. Then you could change the settings so that when the download finishes, the tab can close on its own.
Thank u, thank u A LOT.
That Download Manager pops up Really drives me crazy!

I recommend Download Manager Tweak (http://dmextension.mozdev.org/) myself. I like the optional sidebar view.
