Why don't FF downloads go into the Android download folder, and where are they/how do I find them?

On the computer FF downloads go where I've specified - the default Downloads folder.

Why don't they go into that on FF Android?

Where are they going? How do I find that location? Why isn't there a link to "Downloads" on the app?

Thank you.

Hi,

you can access your downloads by either:

  1. Type the about:downloads in the address bar, or
  2. Tap the menu button (3 dots) > Tools > Downloads.

If you have just opened your "downloads" they were stored into the temp folder of Mozilla´s folder on your Android, and were deleted after you closed your browser.

If you download files from Firefox they should be stored in your default Downloads folder on your Android.
