Can you please enlighten me on the internal protocol FF follows when downloads are set to "Always ask you were to save files"? I want that dialog to always default to the previously used folder, but it only does that about 70% of the time (in my guesstimation). The rest of the time it randomly decides it doesn't want to do that and it will pop up the Windows Downloads folder instead.
Sometimes it will do that even right in the middle of a mass-download session where I'm downloading, say, 15 items, doing the right-click/save thing, and after 10 items in which the Save-to dialog has defaulted to the folder I want, it will suddenly decide that it wants to go back to Windows Downloads, and because I'm on autopilot with my keystroke routine, I might go through all 5 final downloads before I notice that it's not saving to the right folder anymore. This is EXTREMELY annoying.
What prompts my current post is that I've just started another session of about 10-15 downloads, but this time I'm five files in and FF is still refusing to default to my desired folder. It's not uncommon for it to take two tries before the folder I want sticks, but not five. It's now officially way uncool to continue navigating there every single damn time.
So please tell me why this happens.
And no, please don't recommend that I temporarily change the default downloads folder and just set it to permanently download there, then change it back to "Always ask" after each session. First, that's an unworthy kludge. Second, that's a good idea if I'm going to download, say, 40 or more files at a time, but I usually don't. Usually it's more along the lines of 10-20, and that is just too small a number for me to constantly be resetting the default FF download folder. I set different download folders for different types of files A LOT and it would be much more burdensome to continuously deal with FF settings than just have it work the way it's supposed to. So I'm hoping that there's something about this that I don't understand, and I'm inadvertently doing something to interfere with the default-to-previous-folder process which I can stop doing.
TIA.
