I updated to the latest version of Firefox. I used to have a "Downloads" folder on main page. Where is it?

I downloaded a file but I do not know wher it went. There is supposed to be a blue down arrow but it does not show up. I like the old Firefox version much better. It worked with JAWS much better.

HHope you can help me.

Firefox 57+ auto-hides the Downloads button on the Navigation Toolbar by default. The Download button should appear on the Navigation Toolbar once you open the Customize window. If you do not see the Download icon then click the Restore Defaults button to reset the layout in case you previously have moved this button. Once you see the Download button in customize mode then left-click this button to see the current auto-hide state and toggle its setting.

You can also check the downloads in the Downloads Manager (Library; Tools > Downloads) and on the about:downloads page via the location bar.
