Downloaded file is deleted when close Web window

After downloading a file which is saved to my Mac Download Folder the file is removed once I close the Firefox Web window. I checked the folder before the window was closed and the file was there. After closing the window the file is no longer in the folder. Also it is not in the trash.

Did you download the file in a private window? The article "Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history" says files downloaded in a private window should be saved, but I wonder if there are exceptions.

Was it a PDF that that saved there and opened immediately in a tab?
