Hello
For this to work, you must first have something in your "Download List"

1. Select "Tools | Downloads"
2. In the window that pops up, right click on one of the items that 
you have previously downloaded.
3. On MY system, the second item from the top of the context menu that 
comes up is "Open Containing Folder"

Here is a screenshot:

I suppose it could be of really good use if one had their browser set 
so you could choose each time where you wanted something to be saved 
to.  So, if you forget where you saved it, just right click and select 
"Open Containing Folder"

I hope I did not misunderstand your question...
