Disable "All Downloads Have Completed" Popup in Firefox

The Firefox "Downloads have completed" popup is nice, but it's been getting in my way a bit when trying to access window controls as the downloads complete. Here's how to disable the popup:

1. Open about:config. If you don't know what about:config is, it's the way to get at the nitty-gritty Firefox settings that aren't in the default options boxes. go to your address bar and type in about:config and then hit enter. This will bring up a huge list of variables.
2. Find the variable for browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete
3. Double click the variable to change its value to false
4. Restart Firefox
