Hi, I'm using FF12 (fully updated) on my iMac. When I download a pdf, mp3 or whaterver file to the iMac's Downloads folder, I can only see the temporary file ".part". This happens if I open it in Fan (or any other) mode. I have to fully open the folder to see the actual file and be able to use it.

Try to choose a new download folder or in about:config find browser.download.lastDir and reset it, and check it again.
