2003-03-17: Switching download method?
Hi,
Just tried out the 03-17 and found that I could no longer switch between a download sidebar and a download window. The Option is simply gone. Could be that it was already gone in previous nightlies but it was definetly there in 0.5.
Any ideas?

Just one of several choices that have been taken away
In general the new (since Feb) Options seem to offer fewer choices than the old Preferences. Some people think that's a good thing. I don't agree with them.

There should be an option for this in prefs.js, you just need to find it... my phoenix uses download windows as default...
I think you need to check your prefs.js and see if there is an option SET for this behaviour, since it's not the default behaviour

Thank you all for your help.
In fact you have to change
user_pref("browser.download.openSidebar", true);
to "false" (after which it vanished from my prefs.js ???)
and
user_pref("browser.download.useProgressDialogs", false);
to "true".
Now it works like I want it to. Strange though, to have both but no method to switch between them aside from editing the prefs.js
Anyway.
Thank you again.

My guess would be that only non-default settings are kept in prefs.js
