The user interface for downloads changed in Firefox 20. There was a setting you could change in about:config to restore the old style. That setting was in Firefox 20-25, but no longer exists in Firefox 26. So you probably changed that and now are experiencing the standard interface.
This article describes/illustrates the green arrow icon you should see on your toolbar, which animates when a download is complete: Where to find and manage downloaded files in Firefox.
If you would like a more comprehensive view of downloads, you could try this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-status-bar/ (I saw it mentioned in another post, but haven't tried it myself)

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

You can check the browser.download.* pref(s) on the about:config page and reset user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
You can leave the browser.download.importedFromSqlite pref at its current value.
