hello Flamewar07, the preference for the old download manager was only made available for a transitional period and got no longer maintained. since it is now causing issues in private browsing windows and with a new download API it will be removed from firefox 27 and onwards...

They even fast tracked this change as of Firefox 26.0b1 actually so the this preference no longer works.

MOST ANNOYING UPDATE EVER WAS.
SWITCHING BACK TO NORMAL BROWSER.
RIP FIREFOX, BUT NOT ON MINE PC.
I guess that answers the question, I will be downgrading ( AKA not upgrading ). Firefox is beginning to not be Firefox!
