I have specified a download folder in Firefox for. All files except embedded pdf are correctly downloaded to this folder. I am using Adobe Acrobat--NOT the Reader--to read pdf files. I have set the preferences in Acrobat to read files within the internet browser. It works correctly, but the pdf file itself is downloaded to the c:/temp directory instead of the one I have specified. Is there any way to correct this?

Files that are opened in an external program or passed to plugins will always be downloaded to the %temp% folder.
