Revert to old style download manager in Firefox 20

One of the new changes in the latest Firefox update I dislike is the new download manager. I don't care for the way that it displays the information, or lack thereof, and actually prefer the older method that could open in a separate window. After some looking around, I found the method to revert the downloader to the old style and it worked very well. Thought I would pass it on to anyone interested.


  1. Enter the configuration settings of firefox by typing the following in the address bar: about:config
  2. Confirm that you indeed will "Be careful" lol
  3. Navigate to the item labeled: browser.download.useToolkitUI
  4. Change the setting of this item from "false" to "true"
  5. Enjoy
 
Nice to know one has the option ferg (y)

My biggest issue since moving to v20 is that the Photobucket uploader ad-on no longer works and it was such a handy one.
I hope the developer sorts it.

The Photobucket uploader Ad-On has been fixed and is working again :)
