when downloading a pdf i have always had it save to my computer. in recent update this feature has been slightly altered so that we can no longer specify the location and the name of the pdf being saved. This is a big pain for my workflow. im aplications there are a few different manners to specify how downloads are handled but none of them function like they did before. Even the ask to save option doesnt allow you to specify a file name or a download location, Can we get this back?

Thanks

Hi Erik

The Download setting is still under "Options/Preferences -> General -> Files and Applications".

Note that Firefox will normally open PDF files send as application/pdf in the builtin PDF viewer.
