I would like to configure my Firefox to always prompt me where to save files. I've enabled this setting, but I'd also like the file picker to always default to my Downloads directory, ignoring where the last place I uploaded or downloaded a file to/from was.

I currently have my file download settings configured to use the Downloads folder and to always "Ask where to save files before downloading". However, when I download files from some websites, seemingly depending on the website, the file picker may decide to default to my Desktop folder or some random folder in my Documents that I accessed recently, rather than my Downloads folder.

I always want to be prompted with the option to save files in another folder. However, I always want the default option to be my Downloads folder. As far as I'm aware, this was the default behavior in versions 158 and below.

In addition, when uploading files, I'd like the file picker, once again, to default to my Downloads directory.

Currently, whenever a download or upload picker is opened, it seems kind of random what place the picker opens to. On this website, the upload image picker "Browse" on the form I'm filling out to create this question goes to my Desktop. Another website's upload file picker goes to my Downloads. Downloading a file from that website goes to my Desktop. Saving an image from this form page goes to my Downloads. I want all of these pickers to open my Downloads folder without exception.

Is there a way I can configure this behavior in about:config, or do I have to open a Bugzilla report about it?

Guten Tag Datei verschwindet nach schließen der Webseite. Windows aktuell, Firefox aktuell. Es passiert nicht auf allen Seiten, aber diese habe ich nachvollzogen. Wenn ich auf https://www.aurena.at/ gehe und mir eine Rechnung abspeichere, kann ich sie im Ordner sehen. Beim schließen der Webseite verschwindet die Rechnung. Wenn ich die Rechnung öffne und dann die Webseite schließe bleibt sie da. Das unangenehme ist das es nicht immer passiert. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Johann Zöhrer

Downloaded files for example video file is not working and in the player it splited as 2 files and none of the file is working and sometimes the download failed is coming when downloading. How to fix this i have the lastest version Firefox browser and still have this issues.

The first is whenever download and cancel it in the middle it will just show in my task bar and wouldn't go away second when I was trying to customise my button on the lower part i can only do that with left most one (back button)i cannot customise any other

My earlier version of Firefox allowed me to place my downloads as I felt, rather than making me transfer them from downloads to their file. Now with my new version installed in my new laptop, it disregards the ask where to save option selected. PLEASE FIX THIS, i don't want to have to change browsers but I will since it will be easier in the long run in comparison to regularly transferring download files.

How can I change the settings so downloads default to the last folder used. This is especially useful when you download several files to the same location versus having to drill down to a specific folder every time. Thanks Peter

I wish to choose /media/myfiles/mydownloads BUT Settings does not allow entering any change and insists on using /run/user/1000/doc/878d00043/mydownloads. "Browse" is of no avail and returns same prefix.

How can i configure the download settings so that it shows me tha same folder for saving files as the one i last used? Recently, i´ve had to select a specific folder, which now always appears when i want to save a file. Before, it was always the one i´d last used, which is much more practical for my work

Firefox 157.0.1, stopped remembering last saved folder used by the inline pdf viewer, Save As always starts in the windows Downloads folder, always, I need to Firefox remember last used folder, because once a month I need to pay a lot of invoices, and always navigate from downloads to the folder where I store receipts, is becoming painful.

I started automating the organization of my Downloads folder and after moving to Firefox full time found out that every download creates two files. This is related to the Firefox creating an empty placeholder with the original file name and a .part temporary file.

What happens is that my folder automation moved the empty file to the final resting place while the download is being streamed into the .part temporary file. In the end I end up with two files: one with zero bytes and a secondary one original-filename-1.

I tried to fix this issue enabling the browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir setting, but it seems the flag is ignored in macOS 27 and Firefox 158. It still creates the two files in my Downloads folder and the behavior I described above keeps happening.

Is there a way to use a temporary directory or forcing Firefox to use one file only?

I am currently disturbed by the lack of a download feature. For example I have a PDF (https://econ.fudan.edu.cn/__local/9/E1/47/52D80A1D70B1C5EDD15CC5FDA3E_4929A117_AA9BD.pdf?e=.pdf) open, then how do I download that pdf (I know there is a save as PDF option but I want a eleganter way)? Also how do I download the audio when it is presented a dark screen with a player? Simply put, Is it possible to download something by a detector or selector or somewhat?

My PC is a desktop.

If I am using Firefox Private Browsing and download (and save) a jpg, it gets deleted when I close the Firefox private window. I save the file as 'image001.jpg' or whatever...

I can copy the saved jpg to a different directory (prior to closing Firefox) and that file does not get deleted, however the original saved jpg get deleted the moment I close Firefox.

I'm just surprised, as it seems to me that this shouldn't happen even if private viewing...

I should have the right to choose the downloads I want to keep, Instead, I get no choice! Look, I appreciate the safety and protection You give me, but I just get used to the system, and, a new download has arrived, and I'm not sure I want, or need it! I want that option, Please! I had SecureIE for many years, and I found it to be the best Browser available. If I could get it for w-10, I would! I'm not angry, just dissapointed!

    I hope we can reach an agreement on this!  Thank You for accepting this!

hi team

How can I stop firefox automatically saving .pdf documents into my downloads folder.

I open and use hundreds of .pdf documents everyday, and my downloads folder is at capacity with my viewed pdf's.

please help.

When I click on pictures from Onedrive, Nightly shows the pictures as a film negative. I would like to change what file type is handled by Nightly, but don't see the option to change this. Where do I select file types in settings?

the download manager is not working as it used to. Firefox used to remember the last downloaded item (pdf, word docx, etc, and bring me to the last folder again. it no longer does that. It's very inconvenient and I hope you fix it soon.
