Does anyone else find the 'download manager' in Firefox really annoying? You have to actively clean up the old entries if you want it to stay sensibly small instead of occupying a huge chunk of screen.
Nope, just shrink the window size if it takes up too much screen real estate. I prefer it as all my downloads are in 1 window instead of "lots" if you want to clean it up just click the "clean up" button at the bottom.
Yes, but I have to do *both* those things *every time* I do a download. With the old system I didn't have to do anything to have it work the way I liked it.
What use is the download manager anyway? I really can't see any use for a history of past downloads.
It allows you to open previously downloaded files without having to hunt them on the filesystem and locate them. (which is /very/ handy when you realise you saved it in the wrong place)
I save *all* my downloads in a dedicated /ins directory tree so that's not an issue for me.
