Yeah, In addition to going Tools -> Settings -> General and setting "Always ask you where to Save Files" under the Downloads heading, 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. Down below the list of applications, also select "Ask whether to open or save files" instead of just Save files for unknown types. This is what works for me anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks Mark. That may have helped, but I ended up restoring my Firefox files from a backup. I made the mistake of using "Refresh Firefox" recently and, as usual, it screwed things up. I should know better... every time I've tried to use that feature, it messes something up. When am I gonna learn? (*/ω\*)
