FF has this brilliant single-click round folder button on each downloaded item, to "Open containing folder" of that item. TB-UX wants that same sweetness, too. Pretty-please. Easily navigating to the containing folder is one of the major usecases of about:downloads in TB.

I would appreciate if the click target for that button, at least when hovered, would be bigger than in FF.

Richard, imo downloading attachments and then proceeding to operate on them from file manager is a pretty frequent task. Implementing the "Open containing folder" icon as in FF would streamline this everyday workflow. I imagine this wouldn't be hard to do (perhaps copy from FF?), so I think the cost-benefit ratio of this is quite good. Would you be able/willing to do it?

It would be useful to have this but I have now no time to do this. I also don't know if my knowledge would be adequate.
