Maybe i wasn't clear enough. I want the downloads window to open in the new tab when i click on show all downloads in the new downloads arrow.
i think this is not possible, see if is useful to create a bookmark on the Bookmarks Toolbar and set the location to about:downloads.
see if the next add-on is for you : Downloads in Tab add-on
There is setting in the bookmarks to make them open in sidebar always, i wanted to know if there is a setting to make them open in new tab always, individually of course.
from context menu (right click), you know that already
thanks again

One little question more: There is setting in the bookmarks to make them open in sidebar always, i wanted to know if there is a setting to make them open in new tab always, individually of course. I don't a global setting to open all bookmarks in new tab.
Thanks in advance.

You can only open the about:downloads page in a tab via the "Show All Downloads" link when you are in Private Browsing mode. Otherwise you need to use a bookmark or open the page otherwise (see about:about)
thanks a lot for your clarifications. I have done the bookmark thing and i am happy with the sidebar downloads.
I didn't know about private browing showing tabs for downloads. That's where i saw that.
Thanks again. Regards.
Is there a way to get the Download Tab behaviour from Private Browsing the default during normal sessions?
The 'Downloads in Tab' add-on stopped working a long time ago (during 2011). It only works if it's set to automatically open when a download starts. If you click 'Show All Downloads' you get the default window...
You can create a bookmark to open the about:downloads page in a tab (middle-click) or a window (Shift and left-click) or use a bookmark with a keyword (ad) and use that instead.
