Where has the go to folder option gone for downloads!!! Frustration!:(
Where has the go to download folder option gone for downloads!!! Frustration!:( The new downloads thing sucks!! Also how do I get downloads to automatically show with the new system when making a download? I am of course talking about the downloads window that has recently changed in Aurora 16.0a2. Also the popup that happens with Ctrlj is a ghetto spammy kinda way of doing things. It doesn't match the Aurora interface in any kind of way.
PS I don't want to be grumpy with you all, as I know you work hard but this recent change is not your greatest moment.

Firefox manages the downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library (History > Show All History > Downloads).
Firefox 16+ versions won't use the current download manager (pref: browser.download.useToolkitUI is false; Bug 726444), but use a toolbar button with a drop down list, similar to the Bookmarks Menu button.
You can set the Boolean pref browser.download.useToolkitUI to true on the about:config page to restore the old download manager.

Thanks for that info. You are really on top of the build info. Very concise answer. At least it can be changed for now. It is a bad UI decision they have made. Very uncomfortable in usage. It would be nice if they worked on things that would truly be helpful instead of updating purely based on what they think looks good. I don't think its better looking and it definitely is not more functional.
