I updated to Safari Version 13.0.4 on my Mac, but now my downloads icon is gone from my toolbar. There ARE items in the downloads folder, so that is not the problem. In fact, I just downloaded a couple things to see.
I have tried to customize the toolbar, but Downloads is not in there as an option.
Any ideas how to get this back?

The Downloads icon disappears when you clear out the downloaded items from the list. To make sure it stays quasi-permanently, go to Safari Preferences > General > Remove History items and set it to
Manually.This way, as long as you keep at least one item in the list of downloads, the icon will stay in the toolbar. Setting it to
Manuallyensures that the other settings -After one day|one week|two weeks|one month|one year- will not clear out the list without user intervention.
