I cleared the entire download list by mistake. How do I get it back? Is it hidden in a back up folder? If yes how do I find it and move its entire contents back to the download list? Can I do a system restore to an earlier day to accomplish this? Please reply to reeltoreelguy@gmail.com

Firefox stores the download history in downloads.sqlite and such files are not saved as part of a system restore.If you do not have an update of the files in your Firefox Profile Folder then that list is lost.
