Accidentally deleted a file downloaded to the Downloads folder when I intended to hit the Clear Downloads. If not recoverable, suggest moving the Delete away from Clear Downloads or require a confirmation before deleting.

Hey Colleen, When you click "Clear Downloads" it removes them from the downloads menu in Firefox, but it does not actually delete the file you downloaded. If you check your downloads folder (or the download location you set) all your downloads should still be there.

If you didn't click Delete on this specific file then you only remove the file from the download history and the actual file is still in the location where you saved it. You can't recover from deleted history.
