Downloading files - "always ask me where to save" does not work.

more options

The Settings Selection "Always ask me where to save [downloaded] files." has no effect. FF will automatically save the file into whatever folder I selected. (As it happens, that is \MyReceivedFiles.) This means I have to download again to the correct directory/folder and give it a new name. Because there is no "Save As" option. I do not have this problem in Edge browser. This exact same problem was posted at "Downloads default to download folder and never ask where to save them. " https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1412632 But it was archived without being solved. Please solve the problem. P.S. SUPPORT FORUMS: STOP ARCHIVING THREADS OR CLOSING THEM. FORUMS HAVE BECOME USELESS AND FULL OF UNSOLVED PROBLEMS WITH NO WAY TO ADD INFO AND NO WAY TO PROVIDE SOLUTIONS. JUST STOP!
