Download Manager steals focus, disrupting workflow.
I realise that I could NOT display the DM, but I prefer to keep an eye on download progress while I carry on with other work. When the D/L completes, that cursed DM steals focus and disrupts my workflow, causing much frustration. It is beneficial to keep a watch on D/L progress, but MOST ANNOYING when focus is stolen! Could this be rectified in a future release? The Download completion notification could be readily replaced by a Status-Line "Number of Current Downloads" and thereby maintain notification, without the current intrusion of THAT particular pest - which ALSO steals focus!

Re: Download Manager steals focus, disrupting workflow.
There are any number of browser.download... Prefs in about:config.
Maybe something in there can turn off the behavior?
(Might want to test in a test Profile.)
If the display of the "download manager" can be turned off altogether, then maybe an extension could help you, Download Status Bar, or similar?

Fire 750, bring back 250.
