How to Enable the Download Button by Customizing the Toolbar

by Jeniffer Leio Excutive

Mozilla disabled the Download button by default in its Firefox version 57 and it appears in front only when you download a file in the current session. We all know that download button in web software gives direct access to the see the downloaded files, therefore for the option to appear only after downloading could be inconvenient while using Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla may have done that to save the area for other tools by designing download button to auto-hide by default. But, we can customize the Download button from the software’s settings menu to place it in our toolbar.

IF YOU DOWNLOAD SOMETHING AND WANT TO CHECK AND MANAGE THE DOWNLOAD LIST AGAIN, THEN FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

Open the Menu from the right corner of the browser
Go to Library in the menu
Now, click Download
It will open the list of all downloads
To delete an item from download list, right click on it and select Remove From History

Note: – It will not delete the files from your system, but it will remove from the download list of Firefox

You can click Clear Downloads to clear the list
At the bottom of download menu, clicking Show All Downloads will open the download tab where you can manage the list

ENABLING THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON BY CUSTOMIZING THE TOOLBAR

Open Menu from the corner
Go to Customize
Click the Download button from the toolbar
Uncheck Auto-hide option
Click Done to complete the process

THERE IS ANOTHER WORKAROUND TO ENABLE THE BUTTON ON THE TOOLBAR

In URL bar, type about:config
Select I accept the risk
Click download.autohideButton
Move to its Value column and turn its value to false

Mozilla is finding a solution to make the Auto-hide panel visible to the users, till then you can follow the steps to customize the toolbar from settings of the browser and enable the download button to get quick access to its menu.
