Is it possible for Firefox to display recently-downloaded files at the bottom of the browser screen?

I'm just wondering if this is something Firefox can do on desktop. I've been using Chrome on my desktop for years and I like this about Chrome, especially as someone who has to download many files daily. It's not a deal-breaker (I'll definitely be sticking with Firefox), but having recently-completed downloads appear automatically at the bottom of the browser window does save me some time as far as quickly opening them or finding their containing folder. Thanks!

Sorry, that is not a feature in Firefox and I don't think there is an extension which would add that feature to show downloads to Firefox at the bottom of the window.

A download progress "button" and message box does appear in the upper-right as a download is progressing, and once the download is complete the "Arrow" with a line below it will stay there for as long as Firefox remains open; click that "Arrow" button and a listing of all downloads for that Firefox session will appear in the upper-right. Next session and that "Arrow" will be gone.
