Windowblinds and Firefox

Ok i ran a search on firefox but didnt really find anything pertaining to my small problem. im using the azenis 2 skin, and everything works great. my only gripe right now is, when i use firefox and download anything, it wont show what you are DLing the DL window that pops up. it might show while your DLing, but as soon as its done it clears out. this problem happened as soon as i used windowblinds. any solotions ? thanks

i got show the downloads window when downloading a file checked, close it when all DL's are finished is unchecked, and am saving files to a specific location. the download window will pop up, and it will show what is being downloaded, but as soon as its done it just disappears, but the DL window remains.

You're file dates are a year and a half old...have you been having the problem with Firefox that long? Try updating Windowblinds.

Try updating Windowblinds.


that won't work for that version

try uninstalling that cracked version and either give the newest trial a run or buy it

Hankers, just downloaded the download statusbar and that works well, but i would prefer if i could just use the same old FF download window. thanks for the help though, if nothing else comes up ill just use the statusbar

Have you tried re-installing Firefox?

I have both show and close when done checked


"Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" - should be checked

"Close it when all downloads are finished" - should NOT be checked

I use it either way - but I think Eric means the window stays, but the window is empty = sort of like an auto clean up:

, but as soon as its done it just disappears, but the DL window remains.
