Downloads Update
I used to have prompt every time I would download something... I would like it back, how can I do this? I've already tried to ask Firefox to always ask me where I would like to open my download but when it does I removes the name of my PDF and acts like they are textedit files and now when I download JPGS it wont even give me an option to choose to have Firefox ask me for the file type "JPG". How can I get everything back to the way it used to be before the update version 98.0?

You can set this pref to false on the about:config page to prevent opening the
download panel on each download.
- browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
