The latest update 141.0 (64-bit) has changed my default save location from g.drive to users//downloads. How do I change it back to g.drive? I use Firefox synced between 2 computers (1 desktop and 1 laptop). I use google drive so that I can access the same information on both devices. I NEED screenshots to be saved in a specific folder in g.drive. How do I do this. Before this update, there was not this issue. Thanks in advance.

When capturing a screenshot, I used to save to desktop as default (as set in settings). Now, regardless of the default folder set in settings, FF always downloads to "Downloads" folder. Very irritating. So now I click the "always ask" checkbox in settings. Is this a bug or a feature???

Long time ago it was the only thing we had: if you saved a file, you selected the folder. If you saved the next file, you selceted the folder, but the LRU (last recently used) was the default.

Now download folders depend on the domain, the filetype, the age of the user and the color of the T-shirt he wears. At least that's what I guess. Its so complicated, my IQ is not sufficient to understand it. And if you refuse to have it this way, its always stored to the Download folder.

After long research, opening the low level config page, identifying cryptic names of configuration properties and clicking away warnings I was able to deactivate domain specific download folders. It was so annoying, I immediately forgot how I did it.

Still I have to select the same path again and again and again for each filetype I want to store.

And the FileSelector has its own history, but the last folder I selected does not show. Why? Obviously its a fake history.

after the latest firefox update my screenshots will no longer download to my desktop but are sent directly to my downloads folder on windows 11. It has worked for years downloading to my desktop...what did you do? All the settings are set for DESKTOP ie, my computer and firefox but it will not work. Can you please help me?
