How do I get the File Download Status Bar back in new version?
When downloading a file from the internet, there used to be a status bar showing time remaining and data rate, etc. It was accessed via a down-arrow icon in the upper right of the toolbar. I could also pause and resume a download via this window. How do I get this back in the new version?

It is there. or it might not be.
Go to the 3 Bar Menu click and go to Optimize Click the download arrow and un-hide it.
If the arrow is not up in the tool bar drag it to where you want. also if do not like where it is move it to where you want.
It is only hiding when not in use, when you use or have downloaded files it is visible till next time you restart Firefox
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
There is no "Optimize" option under the 3-bar menu but I did find the down-arrow under the library menu and it works, but sadly with the following limitation: Doesn't work for private browsing sessions. In private sessions only the history shows. No active status for an ongoing download and can't drag it to the menu bar. I had no such limitations with previous versions of Firefox.
As a streamlining feature, the download button is set to hidden until there is a download during the current session to show on it. I would think it would be unhidden while a download is in progress regardless of whether you are using a regular or private window; it's strange that they behave differently.
If you want to prevent the icon from hiding, you probably need to use a custom style rule such as:
/* Never Hide Downloads Button */
#downloads-button[hidden="true"]{
display: -moz-box !important;
}
You can apply custom style rules to Firefox's interface by creating a userChrome.css file. If you've never worked with one before, you can find more info on my website here: https://www.userchrome.org/
