Firefox changes Download Folder.


Firefox keeps changing my Download folder from C:\Downloads to the Desktop.

How can if it Firefox so i won't do this any longer?

I am running Windows 7 64 Ultimate and Firefox 34.0.5 the latest version.

Thanks

 

You have complete control over where FireFox downloads files. Goto Tools->Options->General and you can specify the exact location of where FireFox will download to. I personally use the the "Always ask me where to save files" option because I typically download different types of files to specific folders. For instance I'd download a video to a Videos folder while a picture would go to a Pictures folder.

This will not affect media embedded in a web page - only links to the files themselves.

1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Options.
2. Select the Applications panel.
3. The Applications panel will display. Select the type of file for which you want to change the default action.
4. The Action column will give you a drop-down menu, with options on action to take, whenever you click that type of file.
Always ask: will prompt you to select what action you want Firefox to take when you click on that type of file. This can be useful if Firefox is automatically saving a file type or is always opening it with a certain program and you want to be asked what to do.
Save File: will always save the file to your computer using the Downloads window, whenever you click that type of file.
Open the file with an application or plugin of your choosing.

Click OK to close the Options window after making changes.
