I had downloaded many files and MOVE it to another folder. But then unfortunately i delete it. So i want re-download them all without clicking each item in download history -> copy download link -> go to download link -> save file. Is it possible to re-download automatically missing files in download history ? (a re-down button ?)

Weren't those deleted files in the Windows Recycle bin ?

You can possibly create a so called smart bookmarks folder using a place: query in the location field of a new bookmark.

You need to close and restart Firefox or do a Cut/Paste to a different folder to make the bookmark work as a smart folder (it will get a special cogwheel icon). If you do a copy of this smart folder via the right-click context menu then you get the URLs of all the links in this folder that paste in a text file and can use to re-download.
