How to disable download pop up. It only appeared recently

Recently before the new update I think, when I download something the download icon just turns blue which tells me that the download has finished.

But for some time now, when I download anything the download notification pops up like a window which I have to click something to make it disappear. I don't know why this is happening because I did not install any new add ons from before and after the thing happened. Is there a way to disable it? I don't know why it happened so suddenly but its so annoying because you have to close that notification before you can resume anything else.

Note: The pictures are what I see immediately after the download finished, I did not click anything for it to pop up.

That was one of the changes made by version 98. Stop it happening by changing the following preference to false in about:config : browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel

I have the same problem in FF98. Not only that, the pop-up appears at random times even when no download was recently finished. I don't know what triggers this behaviour.
