Using Firevox 142.0.1 on a MacBook Air. I always have "Always ask you where to save files" checked in Preferences, but lately it sometimes fails to ask me. For example, if I try to download a file from Google Drive. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something I can do about it?

I believe you also need to go into Tools -> Settings -> General and set the Action for the types of downloads (Applications) to Always Ask for those types you want it to. If it's set to just Save File then it just saves it in whatever the download directory you've set is.

Hope that helps.

This is definitely not a good solution:

"you need to go into Tools -> Settings -> General and set the Action for the types of downloads (Applications) to Always Ask for those types you want it to" ==> NO. This should not be needed.

The settings "always ask" is supposed to mean.... always ask. As in "always" ask. Like ALWAYS.

There should be no other additional step needed.

in previous versions of Firefox, this feature worked correctly. The current behavior is broken.

The problem is, for a PDF, the action is to open file in FireFox. That is good. However, when I want to save it for posterity, it does not ask where to save it, but always saves it to 'Downloads' as document. I want to save it to another directory, and give it an appropriate name. FireFox used to do this, but not now. It makes it a lot more cumbersome to save statements, etc. I feel that it is a step backward not forward.
