How to Recover Old Download Links From Firefox
Many times, you may download freeware and tools on the internet, but find that you lose the download link when you wish to share with a friend or download another copy later. Luckily, Firefox makes it easy to recover old download links by using its Download Window. In the Download Window, you can not only recover old download links, but also resume partial downloads and recover where you've placed the files you have previously downloaded.

Tips & Warnings
If you don't wish to navigate to the download page and only copy the link, you may do so by choosing, "Copy Download Link" from the pop-up menu that appears when you right-click the downloaded file. This will copy the download link to your clipboard. You can now paste the link into an email, blog post, Facebook or into the web browser address bar of your choice.
