I just wanted to remove NAME from downloaded file list NOT the file from hard drive. How to restore file deleted from the DOWNLOADS page ?

  • Would be NICE if deleted files were moved to Recycle Bin to be able to be restored.

If you use Delete, then you remove the downloaded file from the hard drive. You will have to download the file again as Firefox doesn't use the Recycle Bin for actions taken within Firefox, you should still have the download link (Go To Download Page) as long as you haven't removed this item from the list. You can use "Remove from History" if you want to keep the file.
