Yes, and quite easily. Go to the 'Tools', 'options' tab. In the 'Main' tab, you find the 'show the download window'. Unselect that option, and the downloads window is gone.

You can turn this off using a hidden setting.

Enter the term about:config in the location bar (where you normally type website addresses).

Firefox will give you a warning that you could damage the Firefox installation if you continue, provided you only do what's written below you'll be OK. So just tick yes i'll be careful.

Search for the preference
browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete.
Modify the value to false.

Shouldn't see the download anymore.
