How can I get downloads from the web to show up in the downloads folder in my files instead of it only showing up in Firefox?

Whenever I download a file from the internet on Firefox, it shows in the browser that the file is downloaded, yet when I check my downloads folder in my files, the file does not show up. I can only access the file in Firefox and nowhere else.
