hello Flamewar07, the preference for the old download manager was only made available for a transitional period and got no longer maintained. since it is now causing issues in private browsing windows and with a new download API it will be removed from firefox 27 and onwards...

They even fast tracked this change as of Firefox 26.0b1 actually so the this preference no longer works.

I guess that answers the question, I will be downgrading ( AKA not upgrading ). Firefox is beginning to not be Firefox!
