Steps to reproduce:
Finished downloading a file and closed the browser. Later restated the browser and went to downloads.
Actual results:
Was unable to go to the local download location.
Expected results:
Should have had the ability to at least know where it went. Is the download destination saved at all in the current database setup?

What did you do, how did you attempt to go to the local download location?
If I right-click the downloaded file in Downloads, Open Containing Folder, Windows Explorer opens to the downloaded file location (E:\Users\RUBEN\Downloads as it was), as expected.
Is this for in the Library view?

Happy to provide additional content for this, because it annoys the hell out of me too.
Generally, when downloading a file, the file is placed in either the system defined "Downloads" directory, or the directory you downloaded the file to. Under Nightly (17.01a) there is no longer an option to "Open Containing Folder". This option exists in Aurora (16.0a2) and prior versions.
The problem with this is that there are times when you may want to go to a file you have downloaded and not immediately execute it. This is particularly true for long download files, or files you wish to visit later when you remember that you downloaded them.
Please return the "Open Container Folder" menu option to the context menu for items listed in the Download Manager.
