How can I restore my downloads after accidently hitting the clear list button?

more options

I was going to transfer my downloads to my media player, but accidently hit the clear list button. Is there a way I can undo my error? I paid for these downloads. They were time sensitive, so I can't go back to the original path.

Chosen solution

They should still be in the original Downloads folder unless you changed it in the Options Window - General panel.

In Windows, click the Start icon, then Computer. Look on the left for the "Downloads" folder. You can als find it by typing Downloads in the Start menu "Search programs and files" box.

All that button does is to "Clear the List" of what you downloaded thru Firefox. Your downloaded files should still be in the folder that they were downloaded to.

I had never moved them to a folder or any location. Is there any way to restore what I've cleared?
