Why is there no way to open the last download folder after a firefox
restart !!! ?


It's Firefox bug. But not because the "Open Containing Folder" icon doesn't
work. It's because Firefox doesn't remove that icon if the downloaded file
is no longer present in the containing folder.

When the target file is removed from disk, clicking on a download item does
nothing. The issue is that we can't detect whether the file is still there
on hover, for performance reasons. Thus, detect missing files on click,
and/or with an asynchronous background process when the panel opens, and
assume the file is available until otherwise detected.
For performance reason my azz. They're just lazy. The icon clearly says
"Open Containing Folder". So, it's the folder that needs to be opened. Not
the file. The presence of the file is irrelevant.

And apparently, that same icon also has problem in Linux too.

And this one is over 6 years old without being either resolved, or rejected.
