Hello, if you download something and then close the private browsing, you are not able to see the download in the download window(in normal mode), see: What does Private Browsing not save?

you can't see your downloads in private mode ?

thank you

Yes ideato, the problem is that I can't see my downloads in private mode.

Check if you have the browser.download.manager.retention in about:config page to 2.

Yes, it is set to 2 (default).

with closed firefox(from file>exit) go to Profile folder - Firefox and delete the downloads.sqlite file (and if exist the downloads.rdf).

thanks

just curious .... what are you trying to achieve by downloading files while in a private browsing window? After all, the key feature of private browsing is to not "leave tracks" of what you were doing while in private browsing, and downloading / saving files kinda conflicts with that feature - doesn't it?

ideato: Deleting downloads.sqlite did not help.

In retesting after trying this I noticed that the downloads window does open when I save a file from a private browsing window, but is blank. In previous tests it had already been open.

the-edmeister: That depends what you do with the downloaded files and where you save them.

Hello, can you see your downloads if you write about:downloads in Location/address bar ?

thanks
