I'm using Firefox 2.0 on a XP SP2 computer. When I'm downloading a
file, the Firefox download manager appears, displaying the progress of the
download. It also lists previous downloads I have made. With Firefox 1.5,
there was an option that would automatically erase those previous entries.
But I cannot find this setting with Firefox 2.0. Can anyone help?

Never mind. I found it. Tools, Options, Privacy, take the check mark
out of 'Remember what I've downloaded.'

I did that right before my original post and it failed to erase my
previous download entries. I didn't realize that changing that setting only
takes effect at that moment. Previous entries will still be listed there
unless you manually clean them up. I have since downloaded 4 files, and
they are no longer listed in Firefox's download manager.
