Whenever i used to click an image from the internet that I wanted to save I would always right click the image and and scroll down to save as and it would go straight to my desktop as a thumbnail. Now whenever i save an image now it goes to a file somewhere instead of the desktop. Now i have to search files for it and i don't want to do it that way. How can i correct this issue?

Hi MyLadyAlexis@aol.com, It is possible that it is going to the default downloads folder. To change the folder open up the Firefox Menu

  1. Click on Preferences
  2. In the General Tab, under Downloads change the folder to the Desktop.

That should do it.
