how can find paused download file in private window
When i using a private browsing window paused a movie download and closed the window. After couple minutes i reopen the private window to resume the paused downloaded file. But i can't find the file there. Please help me to recover the file. Thanks

hi, firefox will keep no record of closed private windows (that's what this feature is for).
Note that the partly download may still be on the hard drive. You can check if you can find the .part file in the %temp% folder or in the destination folder you specified.
You would have to find the web page where you started the download since Firefox doesn't keep history in a private browsing mode window.
The usual procedure where you want to resume an interrupted download is as follows:
Make sure to backup the .part file and the final file with size 0 without the .part before starting Firefox.
Try these steps to resume an unfinished download when you still have the .part file.
- Move the old .part partial download and the final file without the .part that has size 0 to another location.
- Start a new download and pause it, don't close Firefox.
- Copy the two files (.part and 0 byte final) that you moved above back to the download location to replace the new files that were created.
- Resume the download in Firefox.
If that doesn't work then the server may not support resuming. Best is to use an external download manager to prevent issues with paused or interrupted downloads.
