I no longer can locate files downloaded. Are they still retrievable?

Réiteach roghnaithe

The files are still there on the hard drive where you saved them.

You have only cleared the download history, so you won't be able to access them via "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu.

If they are in your default downloads folder then yes, however they are no longer stored in Firefox.
