How do I get a "Details" display--as the default--when downloading a file, in the "Enter name of file to save to..." dialog box?

When I receive an attachment to an email, and I click it and select "Download", I get the "Enter name of file to save to..." dialog box (because I already set the option to "Always ask me where to save files." But the file display always defaults to a "List". At least recently. I don't recall it always doing that. In any case, I want it to default to a "Details" display, in ascending order, as I can then find things sooo much faster that way. (I often use the "Date Modified" tab to bring to the top the most recent version of a file.) I know that I can go to the "View Menu" icon and select "Details", but each time I go into a sub folder while in this dialog box, I have to do that all over again and it wastes a lot of time and attention. 

    I did some internet searches but didn't find a way to fix this.

Thanks for reaching out, glennr.

The dialog box you are describing is controlled by Windows, not Firefox, so unfortunately Firefox cannot change what you see by default.

I think your best bet would be to ask on the Windows support site.

OK, I did that and we'll see how that goes. I tried using Internet Explorer and ran into the same thing, so I think you're right that it's not Mozilla. It's either Windows or Zimbra Imail at this point. Tku. - Glenn
