1. go to “Firefox / Settings / Settings”;
(Picture 1)

In conclusion, if you did not save anything, but expect that the Mozilla Firefox browser saved the data in the cache, then you need to find the folder in which the cache is stored:
— go to Windows 8 My Computer and on the “View” tab, check the box next to “Hidden elements”;
- then “Local disk C / Users / Username/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/abracadabra.default/Cache".
That's all. If you have any questions, don't hesitate.
is the name of new versions of the browser, starting with 57.0, which introduced an updated interface and many other changes.
Unfortunately, with the introduction of new things, sometimes some old functionality changes or is removed. This is what Mozilla did with the Download button on the Firefox toolbar.
Bringing back the “Download” button
Previously, the Downloads button was always visible in the toolbar, but now it only appears when the browser is downloading something. Otherwise it stays.
In fact, Mozilla applied a new "Auto-Hide" attribute to the button to hide it until the user wants to download something using the browser.
To add the “Downloads” button back to the toolbar, you need to do a simple manipulation of the settings.
- Right-click on the toolbar or tab bar and select the option Personalization" The toolbar settings window will open.
- The Downloads button is already present in the Firefox toolbar. Click on it with the left mouse button and you will see a pop-up menu “ Auto hide" The checkbox is enabled by default.

For the Mozilla Firefox browser, it is possible to replace the standard built-in file downloader with a more improved one, comparable in functionality to full-fledged desktop file downloaders. Free extension DownThemAll! is an advanced bootloader accelerator.
The extension is built into the browser and implements its own file download process and download management interface, separate from the one installed in the browser. DownThemAll! allows you to cancel, pause and restart downloads without worrying about data loss. Users can assign priority speed to individual downloads, freely move downloads through the manager’s list, and download web page content in one click.
In the extension DownThemAll! the possibility of segmented file downloading has been implemented, which means that files are downloaded in parts, and thus the speed of their downloading from slow web servers on the Internet increases.
About all the features of working with the DownThemAll! in the Mozilla Firefox browser, we’ll talk in more detail below.
DownThemAll extension! - advanced file downloader for Mozilla Firefox browser
How to install extensions (add-ons, add-ons) in browsers, in particular Mozilla Firefox, .
Downloader buttons DownThemAll!Downloader DownThemAll! embeds its commands in the browser context menu.
More extension buttons can be seen in the Mozilla Firefox quick access menu. But first, these buttons need to be added to the menu. In the quick access menu, click “Edit”.
Drag and drop 4 DownThemAll buttons! from the list of additional functions on the left, then click “Exit settings”.
That's it - now in the browser's quick access menu there is a call to the download manager DownThemAll! and its individual download functions.
When you click on the link to download the file, a standard download selection menu will appear in the Mozilla Firefox window. Here you need to select the “DownThemAll!” item. And so that in the future the browser switches directly to the extension loader without unnecessary fuss, you can check the box next to the “Run automatically for all files of this type” option.
After this, a dialog box of the downloader itself will appear: DownThemAll! with a choice of download options. Here you can assign a folder to save the downloaded file, make a note in the description column, and select a file renaming mask. You can start downloading immediately by clicking the “Start” button. Or you can use the “Add to Queue” button to send the download, respectively, to the queue. Thus, the added files can be downloaded later, managing downloads from the DownThemAll! manager.
Another download option that also appears immediately in the standard Mozilla Firefox download selection menu is “dTaOneClick!” - this is the ability to download a file in one click.
This extension option remembers the previous download settings and will download the file in exactly the same way as the previous time - in the same folder, with the same rename mask, in the same way with an instant download start or by adding to the queue.
Rename maskThis download settings option, such as the rename mask, is useful when downloading a large number of files from different web resources or with names consisting of meaningless combinations of characters. Before downloading, you can choose to automatically rename files by adding additional data according to a particular template to the existing file names. For example, you can attach the web address of the resource where they were downloaded from, download time, ascending numbering, free text, etc. to file names.
Download Manager DownThemAll! automatically appears on the screen after starting to download files. It can also be launched at any time with the “dTa Manager!” button. from the browser's quick access menu.
Downloads can be paused, started again, deleted along with the files on the disk, without having to look for the downloaded content among the junk in the downloads folder. You can launch downloaded multimedia files directly from the download manager window. For current downloads, you can set one or another download speed, manually setting a higher value for priority files and depriving the speed of files that are not urgently needed and can take longer to download.
More information can be seen by selecting the “Download Information” option in the context menu of the download of interest. In the settings tab, the initially set download parameters will be visible.
Downloading web page content
You can download in one fell swoop the data posted on a web page - HTML, PHP, video, photo, audio and other files that a particular site is “rich in” by calling the “DownThemAll!” button. A download options window will open, where, among other settings, you can set filters and select all or only individual links.
You can also set filters and select only web page attachments for downloading - video, audio, images, pdf files, etc.
The "dTa OneClick..." button does exactly the same thing as "DownThemAll!", with the only difference being that all elements on the web page where the button is called will be downloaded instantly, in one click, using the last used download options (folder saving files, renaming mask, selected filters, starting download or adding to queue, etc.).
Another “dTa OneClick!” button, but with a purple arrow, is a select button that allows you to add selected links on a web page to the downloader queue with one click. To do this, you need to enable this button in the Mozilla Firefox menu.
After turning on the button, move the cursor over the links and click when the block lights up. That's all you need to add the link to the downloader queue. By sending all the links on a web page to the queue, the select button "dTa OneClick!" disable it, because it works until it is turned off manually. What remains to be done after actively adding links is to review the loader list and start the process of downloading files.
As you can see, the selection button “dTa OneClick!” - the tool is fast, convenient, useful, but, alas, only in rare cases, for example, when downloading a large number of individual files - music tracks, pictures, documents, archives, parts of a large video file, etc., which are located in one layout on file storage. In such cases, the selection button “dTa OneClick!” will greatly simplify the downloading procedure. But with a few downloads, such a tool is useless, since more body movements will be spent on turning the button on and off than on starting the download of one link.
Extension settingsGo to the DownThemAll extension settings! You can do it from the download manager window.
In the settings you can set the number of simultaneous downloads, options for overwriting files, deleting completed and failed downloads, rollback to default settings, and also configure other things.
About the completion of downloads of the DownThemAll downloader! notifies you with a sound notification. With large download volumes, this can get on your nerves. The sound can be turned off in the extension settings, in the first tab.
Download manager interface DownThemAll! Russified and friendly to ordinary users. However, the individual functionality of the extension is very specific, and, as we see, is designed more for people who are professionally engaged in online activities. Perhaps because DownThemAll! does not know how to download video and audio from video hosting sites and social networks. For these purposes, you will still have to install a separate extension in the browser that can do this.
