why doesn't the downloads windowemain open after downloading a file?
the downloads window in my version of windows xp pro, sp3, opens with a blank downloads window. it does not show the progress of a download, and the window is blank.
in tools/options, i checked the option to "show the downloads window when downloading a file."
i left unchecked, "close it when all downloads are finished."
the remaining options are "always ask me where to save files," or, "save files to..." neither solves my issue.
i have created a downloads folder on my desktop. but, for my convenience, i would like the downloads window to remain open and displayall subsequent downloads instead of creating a downloads folder.
is there a solution?
p.s. i think that, in earlier versions of firefox, the downloads window showed a download's progress and remained open.

I have seen this issue before and was answered by another Forum Helper quite nicely in this thread:
