For downloads in windows 7, how can I add the option to "save as" instead of just "open" or "save"

Hi, could really use your help! Recently updated Firefox. I used to click on downloads and be able to "save as". Now, I can only "open" or "save". When I click on "save", all the files go to one default downloads folder. Then I have to open explorer, locate the folder and file, then cut and paste it to the appropriate folder. A cumbersome process!

Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!

It works - thanks so much! Note if others have this issue, you may think it's not working - you'll still get the same pop-up box with only two options - "open" or "save". However, when you click "save", it then gives you the option where you'd like to save it to.
