Chosen solution

First, wherever the file is downloaded in Firefox, you can open the folder it's in from the Downloads window (see "Open the file's folder" on Managing downloads). In that window you can see its location.

To restore the download location to Downloads in My Documents, you could change it in the settings or Reset the download folder.

[edit] oh, and how exactly do you download the file you can't find later? Do you maybe use "Save Link As" or "Save Page As"?
