Go to a download in Firefox

Each download is recorded in a separate list in the Firefox browser.

  • You can also open the list later at any time using the "Extras" menu item and the "Downloads" command. Or you choose the key combination "CTRL + J".

Information in the Firefox list

The following information about the files and programs is displayed in the download window:

  • The icon of the program (e.g. B. Word or PDF), the name of the file or program and the memory size.
  • Open ODS online - this is how it works

    Files with an ODS extension are documents that are stored in the Open Office ...

  • The website from which the file or program originated and the day on which the download took place are also displayed.
  • If you have already saved the download, you can open the storage location via the context menu of the download (click with the right mouse button). Then choose the command “Show Keeping Folder”.

Open downloaded programs and files

  • If it is not possible to open it directly, right-click on the download and select the command "copy download link" and paste the copied address into the address field of Firefox a.
