From: Invisible Man on 7 Mar 2010 14:02 Firefox 3.6 Windows 7 64bit When I download a file progress displays in the download window. In accordance with my settings when the download has finished the window remains open. The file however disappears from the download list. Anyone know what causes this and if there is a setting to stop files disappearing from the list. I am using the default download folder. TIA for any ideas.

In the addres bar type: about:config Paste this into the "filter" field: browser.download.manager.retention Does the value exist? https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Download_Manager_preferences browser.download.manager.retention Indicates how long downloads are retained in the Download Manager's queue after the download is completed successfully. 0 indicates that the download should be removed upon completion; 1 indicates that completed and canceled downloads should be removed on quit; 2 indicates that downloads should never be removed automatically. In Firefox and SeaMonkey the default value is 2. In Thunderbird the default value is 1; If the preference is missing, the value 0 is used.

Many thanks. It was 0. It is now 2 and I can see my downloads to use them without having to open windows explorer - or whatever they call it in windows 7.

Don't forget Ralph Fox's better reply.......... >>>>> What are your Firefox settings at: Tools Options Privacy ? The setting is actually changed there with "Remember what I've downloaded". I looked everywhere else *except* that tab, and just stumbled on my solution by accident, after assuming there wasn't a box to check. Silly me!
