When the window pops up for the save location of a file, select location, and save. Navigate to the save location and the file is not there. cannot find the file via a search. Also does not remember last save location, but there is not entry in the about:config to set lasDir. 29.0.1.

Assuming you are saving the file in a normal window (not a private window), can you use the download history to locate the file? Either click the arrow on the toolbar or press Ctrl+j, then assuming the download is listed, click the folder icon at the right side to open the folder containing the download. Any luck?
