STR:

  1. macOS or Windows (haven't tested Linux), today's nightly
  2. go to https://www.thinkbroadband.com/download
  3. click any of the links
  4. select "save as" instead of "open"
  5. wait for the download panel to show (it might not, bug 1685736)
  6. close the panel
  7. restart Firefox (either for an update, or just quit it and reopen it)

ER:
the panel does not open up again for the same download

AR:
the panel opens up again

This would get very annoying after a while, and the only workaround appears to be removing the download from your history, by using the context menu or the download manager. A lot of users won't be able to figure this out.

We shouldn't show the panel for downloads that aren't from the current session.

This is disabled outside of Nightly so updating tracking flags for that...
