Finding Your Downloads Folder
If you are saving a file from the web to your computer and you are not prompted for a location to save the file in, it will probably be saved in a folder called "Downloads". There are several ways to find your Downloads folder, depending on which browser you are using.
In Mozilla Firefox: Click on "Tools" on the menu bar and select "Downloads" from the drop‑down menu. In the list that appears, you should see
the file that you downloaded. RIGHT‑click on that file and select "Open Containing Folder". The folder that the file was downloaded to should open,
and you will be able to see your file in that folder.
The Firefox menu bar
NOTE: If the menu bar is not visible across the top of the browser window, press the "alt" key on your keyboard, to the left or right of the space bar, and the menu bar will appear across the top.
