In version 98, a change was made so that the download panel always opens every single time any file is downloaded. I have found that I never, under any circumstances, want or have ever wanted this behavior, nor do I ever ever serendipitously benefit from it. It is continuously annoying. How do I defeat it?

Chosen solution

Changing the following preference to false in about:config should fix it. browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel
