Before when I was downloading something there was a separate small box like a separate page so even if I closed the browser the downloads would still continue the box would still be there. Now the download shows in the right had top of the page in very small print. So I forget I'm downloading and close the browser I lose the hole download. It doesn't even ask (like Opera) are you sure you want to close you will lose your download.

You can set the browser.download.manager.quitBehavior pref to 2 on the about:config page.

That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download when you close Firefox.
