downloads
i been downloading a lot the past few days and i just find out that there is a limit to the download history every time i download something new an old download history gets auto delete so my question is if one download is auto deleted in the history does it delete the original downloaded file as well?'

Download History and the downloaded file are two separate things. Your files should be safe.
As to your history, the file that holds history and bookmarks is only so large. Once a limit is reached, something has to go.
Places Maintenance {web link} Allows to run Maintenance tasks on the database that drives Places, the bookmarks and history module behind Firefox.
Open the Add-ons Manager. Locate the add-on and press the Options button. Then follow the directions.

thanks for answering is good to know about things like that
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
Firefox 49+ releases keeps downloads for 60 days.
Downloads and long URLs expire in 60 days.
See the comments in the Firefox source code.
Some visits can be expired more often than others, cause they are less useful to the user and can pollute awesomebar results: 1. urls over 255 chars 2. redirect sources and downloads (visit_type=7)
ohh is that so well if only the downloads history gets deleted and not the downloaded files i guess i can live with it
