Clarification: I notice that items I have recently downloaded remain in what appears in the screen header as a file titled "Downloads" with the Firefox logo in front of it -- I assume this is a file Mozilla creates. I can't find it when I look for it. I only get to see this "file" and its contents when I need to download something to read or view. If I could find this "file", I wouldn't have to download, again, something I just downloaded yesterday for a reference check, and then need to check again today. Please excuse my sometimes lack of computer savvy.

You can right-click an item in the Download Manager widow and choose "Open Containing Folder" to go to the download location of that file.
