The arrow went missing in the last release (maybe two weeks ago?) too and now I've got the same problem in 57. The arrow is not in the Customize list. How do I get it back? Thanks.

Hello, first download a file. Then click on the 3 line menu >> Customize Firefox, click on the Download Arrow and uncheck the box that says Auto-Hide. It should now be in your toolbar.

Mkll -- thank you!! I would never have figured out that a user needs to trigger the arrow by downloading a file first!

There should be no need to first do a download. When you open the customize page then the download button should appear on the Navigation Toolbar and you can left-click this button to toggle Auto-hide on/off.
