Why does the Downloads Save files to Browse button do nothing when pressed?

I'm trying to download a couple of different files from a couple of different web sites. I see the "Opening {filename}" dialog box with the "Would you like to save this file?" question and the Save File button, but nothing happens when I click on the Save File button except that the dialog box closes.

When I go into Tools/Options General tab, I select the "Save files to" button, and when I click on the Browse button to choose a directory, nothing happens.

It appears I can no longer download files.

Please disregard. My "My Documents" folder is mapped to a file server on the network, and for some reason the last time I logged in, I was denied access to that network resource. I logged out and logged back in again, and I am able to download successfully.

D'oh.
