MAJOR Accident: I accidentally cleared the 'Downloads' list... How can I get it back?
Greetings everyone,
I accidentally double clicked on "Downloads" after accessing the "Tools" menu so all of my downloads in the "Downloads list" is now gone... :(
I know that the actual files aren't deleted but I can no longer see the location of the files I've recently downloaded :( :(
Thank you for any help!

Downloads are considered history items: clearing history removes corresponding download items and vice versa. You might still have history entries for the websites where you downloaded those files, but the actual downloads are lost. This means that to recover your downloads list, you need a backup copy of places.sqlite that still has this deleted history.

I don't think I did a backup of the download list... :(
Is there anything else I can do to get my download list back?
