I have accidentally deleted download list by pressing clear downloads and I know it does not deletes my original downloaded files but just the memory. But for me those information are very important I must have a record of what and when I have downloaded. So, I request Mozilla to help me get back those information those information are important for me I will be very thankful if I get them back.

Hello sheikhhumayun30, I don't believe Firefox retains a copy of your downloaded files.

You can try to recover deleted "old Firefox" files with 3rd party software - like Recuva - or, if you have a System Restore Point, you can try: ShadowExplorer https://www.shadowexplorer.com/

I hope this helps, and, Peace Be With You, also...
