This seems to be an old regression as I can't reproduce this on a build from 2014-03-01.

Unfortunately, this is the far I can go with the bisection due to the fact that most of the builds from 2015 are opened broken via mozregression, and I cannot reproduce the issue. I can't really point out one bug from this range, but maybe bug 941063 could be a possible regressor.

Managed to hit this during esr build validation.

As an "extra" additional note this seems to occur only on clean profiles without having any previously performed downloads.

As an emphasis for Comment 0: only restarting Firefox seems to be a workaround for this issue, since downloading an additional file after triggering this issue doesn't seem to solve this (the download button remains broken).

Browser Console output:
Downloads: Downloads button cannot be found.
TypeError: can't access property "spec", download.source.referrerInfo.originalReferrer is null

Reproduced on the latest Nightly 79.0a1 (2020-06-22), Firefox 77.0.1, and Firefox 78 beta - tested on Windows 10 x64.
