As of today when I download a file it no longer appears on my Desktop. It appears in Computer > Favorites > Desktop.

In Options I have Downloads > Save file to > Desktop as always.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar. Check what the 'Download To' location is set to.
