Stop Firefox download window from blinking

The window that opens when you download a file in Firefox may sometimes be annoying, either because it pops up when you're trying to do something else or that the button/window on the windows taskbar starts to blink.

Firefox lets you disable these features through its advanced properties. Enter about:config into the address bar of Firefox, accept the "I'll be careful, I promise!" warning. Then enter one of the following in the Search field at the top:

browser.download.manager.flashCount - set to 0 (zero) to disable blinking in windows taskbar.

browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting - set to false to prevent the download window from showing at all (it won't open if it's not already open) when you start a download.

browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting - set to false to keep the download window from stealing focus/showing when a download starts.

In firefox holding down shift and then swiping left, with two fingers, on your mouse pad will move you back in browsing history. This can be very annoying, especially if you just finished filling in a form and the hold shift and reach to the left the captialize the first letter of you name for signing (e.g. the H in Herikstad).

To disable this back action in firefox do the following:
Enter about:config into the url line.
Accept the warning.
Enter mousewheel.withshiftkey.action into the filter at the top of the page. You should get one line with the same name and the value set to 2.
Right click the line and change the value to 0.

Other values you can set for this field is:
* 0 - Scroll document by a number of lines (given by the numlines property)
* 1 - Scroll document by one page
* 2 - Move back/forward in history
* 3 - Make text larger/smaller
* 4 - Scroll document by a number of pixels (given by the numlines property)
