Firefox Progress of Ongoing Downloads Revert to old style

Once again, like the pdf thing that Mozilla did a while back.  The new download window:

• Takes up a whole tab
• Cannot be resized
• Blocks any bookmarks on your bookmarks toolbar

Unfortunately the only fix to the old style, aka, before FF21 is to do two things:

• Revert from private browsing (Preferences > Privacy > History > Custom Settings)
•  Open about:config and toogle browser.download.useToolkitUI to TRUE

Un-tick private browsing :(

The analogy is that private browsing does not remember any downloading history, so the browser.download.useToolkitUI change will not show any downloads in the old style list.
