I do not delete anything in my FireFox 'downloads' list, which I need to keep as reference. Is it possible to select/copy in 'downloads' and save as text - not as a link - so I can paste into a text document? I've tried select/copy, then paste, but it doesn't work (I just get what was last on the clipboard). I'd be very grateful for any help - thanks!

You can use the SQLite Manager extension to generate such a list.

  1. Open Profile Directory -> downloads.sqlite -> Go
  2. Hit the Execute SQL tab
  3. Use a Select like this:
SELECT datetime(moz_downloads.startTime/1000000,'unixepoch'), moz_downloads.name, moz_downloads.source, moz_downloads.target
FROM moz_downloads

If you need more data then add open the moz_downloads TABLE to see the names of the available columns and add them to the SELECT line separated by commas.
