use Native Windows Dialogs in Firefox 10
I like to set Firefox 10 to use the original Native Windows Dialogs when Open, Save, Save as, etc. are called.
I use Direct Folders to quickly navigate to any folder I need, this has been working fine until now, but not with this new version.
I need to know what to set in "about:config" to use the old Windows Dialog boxes

Hi,
Firefox uses the Windows native dialog boxes by default. You can try to check this in Safe Mode.
Troubleshooting Extensions and Themes
Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. Options > Advanced. All these settings/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme or hardware acceleration is causing issues.
If the problem persists, you may have to change the settings in Direct Folders or any other Windows enhancement/theme software.

Why to work on safe mode sir ?
Safe mode also disables any extensions you may have installed to override the generic dialog boxes.
I started Firefox in safe mode, there was nothing, no add-ons, no toolbar nothing and I followed you advice for the other suggestions.
Nothing it does not want to work, the funny side is that it works fine in Firefox 6.0.1 and all the other previous Firefox I have had since ver 2.0.
And beside the add-ons I don't have any toolbars except the Firefox Toolbar to which I have added a few buttons.
Thanks anyway, I will keep working on this.
