I assume you're talking about the way Firefox has "Desktop" as the default download location.  This is a flaw with Firefox, as far as I'm concerned.  You get a mac/windows-style desktop only if you run a desktop environment such as KDE or Gnome.  Fluxbox does not have this dynamic storage-capable feature, since it is only a window manager.  The reason you have desktop icons at all is because they are provided by a separate application.

My guess is that the files were saved either to /home/dsl or /tmp (or maybe your firefox cache).  I suggest that you edit your Firefox preferences and change its downloads directory.
