Clear download history after download is complete
Is it possible to have firefox to clear the download history while I am still in firefox? I don't want to press the 'Clear list' button every time I complete a download, and I don't want to have to quit firefox in order for it to erase the download history. Thanks!

browser.download.manager.retention
When to remove downloaded files' entries from the Download Manager
0: Upon successful download
1: When the browser exits
