View info about files downloaded by Firefox Web Browsers
If you're a Firefox user, you probably know about its Downloads window (press Command-J to open it). But did you know that if you select one of your downloads in the window and press command-I, you can see where the file was downloaded from and where on your system it was downloaded to?

Pretty simple, but useful.

[robg adds: I had no idea this functionality was there, and there aren't any visible Command-I keyboard shortcuts in Firefox's menus with the Downloads window frontmost.]

You can also right-click on each file listed in the Downloads window to view the info properties as well as open the file, view the file in the finder and remove the file from the list.

If only Firefox would put this source info in the files' Comments field like browsers used to in the pre-OSX days...

Ecamm Networks' DownloadComment adds that functionality to Safari.

@robg's comment:

slightly OT but to see all of an app's available menu commands and their shortcuts at a glance, check out keycue. and the latest version also lets you click any item in its window. it's awesome.
