I can't specify the folder a download goes to

When I download files, I often know the folder where I want the to go. Firefox doesn't allow me to choose the folder. All the files go to one folder. then I have to use File Explorer to go there, cut and paste the file to the folder I want. That is also the only chance I have to rename the file, which I usually want to do. Other browsers don't have this limitation.

Did you check the Download settings in Options/Preferences?

Hi, 7mins to fix ( i hope). Please uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 61.0.2 with a Full Version Installer

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
