"Always ask you where to save files" - but it's not asking
Using Firevox 142.0.1 on a MacBook Air. I always have "Always ask you where to save files" checked in Preferences, but lately it sometimes fails to ask me. For example, if I try to download a file from Google Drive. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something I can do about it?

I believe 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.
Hope that helps.

That's it! Thanks!
This is definitely not a good solution:
"you 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" ==> NO. This should not be needed.
The settings "always ask" is supposed to mean.... always ask. As in "always" ask. Like ALWAYS.
There should be no other additional step needed.
in previous versions of Firefox, this feature worked correctly. The current behavior is broken.
