How do I make Firefox remember all Downloads even after I close it?
Every time I close Firefox the downloads button forgets my recent downloads. I would like them to stay there until I clear them.

Type about:config<Enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type; privacy.clearOnShutdown.downloads Set its value to false.
Changing that pref won't work because Firefox will likely give it the same value as privacy.clearOnShutdown.history.
You can check the "Clear history when Firefox closes" settings in:
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
