It´s a comment on the latest update. Please refer to the attached image. I miss that little bugger of a button, it was so handy. Now I have to leave the browser and refer to the Finder to pick up on a download.

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.

  1. Type about:config into the address bar and press Return.
  2. In the Search field, enter browser.download.autohideButton (or a part of it.)
  3. Doubleclick the preference or right-click and select Toggle to set it to false.
