Question Windows Vista. How do I..........

............get dowloads back again?
I've downloaded a couple of instruction manuals on pdf via e-mail. Firefox puts them into a download box at the top of the screen. Once the box is closed, they are there the next time the box opens.

But HOW do I open it BEFORE I download something else?
I've tried asking Vista to find downloads, but it doesn't find that box.

Firefox normally defaults downloads to the desktop but if you open Firefox and select options you can select which folder you wish it to go to for all future downloads.
