I downloaded a file. It didn't give me the option to OPEN or SAVE, it just started the download. After it finished, nothing happened when I double-clicked on the file in the Downloads window and the Open Containing Folder option was disabled. I tried the Search function by the file name, but still couldn't find it. Any idea where it could be?
