Using the firefox menu for download location, I input a custom location on my D Drive which IS not a root location. It is ignored and firefox keeps saving to user mame/downloads on my C drive

Firefox must have undergone even more changes than I thought if you cannot even set your preferred download directory! When I was using Windows Firefox, I was able to put downloads wherever I wanted.

(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
