Where, in the panel or in the Library?

Comment 2

It's only reachable when I the downloads are successful:

The Library is not anymore useful either:
http://cl.ly/GUrf

hm, if the download failed it doesn't make much sense to go to its destination folder, do you have a specific use-case in mind?

The Library is going to be completely changed (bug 675902), so not really useful now.

I started downloading a large file and I canceled it because I noticed that I had already downloaded it but had not gone to install it.
At that point, I decided I should actually go and install but I had no way to get there through Firefox but instead I had to switch to Finder.

So, ideally you would have opened the Library, and show containing folder on the previous download? Though as said that's not there yet.

IIRC there was also a bug filed about how hard was to reach the default download location in the old DM window when, for example, it was empty, sounds like an open problem to figure out.

If I could have "show all downloads" plus "open Downloads in finder" (or a small logo) I would be more than happy.

duping to bug 746783 since that will add the option to the context menu.
