Some options disappeared, and Download Manager doesn't show up on Nightly. Help?
Hello. I'm going to try to make this as short as possible. I'm under the Nightly program. Currently, I have version 21, that came out today. But, since last week, with version 20, I noticed something. Whenever I downloaded something, tried to open the Download Manager, or pressed Ctrl + J, the Download Manager we all know didn't appear. Instead, the "Library" shows up. I don't want to see the Library, as it is not so "pretty" as a normal download manager. Also, under Options, under General, Downloads, the option to select where to save files is missing. Under Security, I can't see my Saved Passwords. Why are all these things "missing"? Did I do something I wasn't supposed to? Is this an addon's work? I left my information below for you to see anything you need to. Please, help me?

The Library is where Downloads are displayed now. The "normal" Downloads window has been gone for many weeks now in Nightly. BTW, there is a new toolbar button (arrow pointing down) in the Palette for Downloads; it has a "door hanger" which shows current downloads on cursor "hover".
These are the major "folders" on the left side of the Library window.

Options > General - "Save file to" and "Ask me where ..." is still present for me on WinXP.
Options > Security still has the "Show Passwords" button for me.
I suspect that you have an extension installed which isn't completely compatible with 21.0a1

I don't really like the Library window, but I guess there's no way to change it. The new toolbar isn't quite useful either. But thanks for the answer. I saw the other options too. I guess they were moved from where I thought they were. Thanks.
I expect more changes, I suspect that the Library window will be moved into a "tab" in the future. No more window which can be dragged around.
