Once, in a special minimal version of windows, I remember that the downloads opened in the library folder; I really liked this because it maintained the features of the old downloader with some benefits. I don't know why firefox opened them this way, but is there a setting (e.g. in about:config) that will allow me to make /that/ window open, not the browser.download.useToolkitUI?

CTRL+J opens Downloads in the library window in mz Fx 22.

If you press Ctrl+J in the Firefox window on your PC, what happens?

Maybe you just need to rest your Firefox to get back the desired behaviour, which seems still to be standard.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Downloads only open the Library is the new Download Manager is enabled (browser.download.useToolkitUI = false).

Note that the two Download Managers use different files to store their content (places.sqlite versus downloads.sqlite), so it wouldn't make sense to open the Library if you do not use the new Download Manager.
The new Download Manager treats items as history.

If you are in Private Browsing mode the you get the about:downloads page instead of the Downloads folder in the Library.

When i hit ctrl + j i get the downloads 'tab'. I want to get the window that you get by clicking 'show all history' and then clicking the 'downloads' label on the sidebar.
