Auto clean up downloads in Firefox by Vilkku on 12-26-2004 at 09:29 PM

I got a new computer and now the download list doesn't clean up when a download is finished. I know that you are supposed to enable this somewhere because it does this on my old computer. Thanks.

I think you have to set browser.download.manager.flashCount to 0 in about:config, but I'm sure you can set that somewhere in the advanced settings.

I can't find it anywhere in the advanced options and changing the browser.download.manager.flashCount to 0 doesn't help.

Tools > Options > Privacy > Download Manager History > Then select either "Upon succesful download", "When firefox Exits", or "Manualy" under "Remove from download manager:" drop-down menu
