I downloaded edited versions of a document from an online school a while ago. They are no longer available on the website I downloaded them from, and that was the ONLY location they were available. I checked the window that logs down my downloads, but the documents were no longer there. Is there any way to recover those downloads?

This is really important to me, so thanks for any advice.

If the page no longer exists you have probably lost the information, unless you deliberatly saved the webpage (yourself manually; by working 'offline', or some sort of archive extension) to your computer. That is something you need to do if you expect a webpage to change. Your bookmarks or history only point you back at the webpage, they are not the information from that webpage.

There are two possibilities you could try but this only works for any original material, not anything you edited yourself.

  • Offline if you use file -> work offline . Then if you try the URL you have whilst offline, if firefox does have a cached copy it may load.
  • Web Cache, some pages get archived elsewhere on the web, google for instance stores current or sometimes older versions of sites as a cache copy, look for the item on google and if you see an alternative link marked 'cached' &/or 'Similar' try clicking on them.

If you are lucky and find the information remember to immediately use File -> save page as , and make a copy for your computer.
