I would like to stop Firefox from removing completed items from the download cue automatically. I would like to delete when I open the file later, but not have it disappear as soon as it finishes downloading.

It sounds like browser.download.manager.retention is set to 0 instead of the default 2: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Download_Manager_preferences

Type about:config in the URL bar and search for 'download', right click on "browser.download.manager.retention" and select "Reset".
