I had my navigation toolbar hidden. I have my browser set up with the bare minimum amount of toolbars and buttons so I moved the download button to the menu bar and promptly reverted back to hiding the navigation bar.

I have my menu bar, navigation bar, and the bookmark toolbar. I like everything handy.

it's particularly handy for downloading from locations where you don't want to share your real IP.. recommended by the tor project, in fact. plus it's usually faster and give finer-grain control.
