I added the upstream bug that aucg filed, for Launchpad to track; thanks. But I also think that changes in Firefox will take care of this fairly soon. I think the plan is that Downloads will be shown in a tab, not a window. And that won't be opened by default, there will be some kind of less-intrusive notification. I don't have a bug number or documents for that, right now. Thanks.

I press ctrl + s for that or go to file->save page as... But this process pops up a new 'Download' dialog box. This box gets focus on it and looses focus on main firefox window. This is irritable. When i press ctrl +s and tell firefox to download that page i know that it is now downloading that page. i dont want it to take me to that dialog box. This is inturrupting my work flow. e.g. you can consider tthe same in chromium browser. in chromium browser when i download something or save some web page it just creates new bar at the bottom and displays the download status there, so not disturbing my work flow.
