If you are using an add-on theme switch to the default theme. If that isn't the source of your problem ....

Try the Firefox SafeMode.
A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.

  1. You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  2. Or use the Help menu item, click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled... while Firefox is running.

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.

If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Thank you for your prompt reply. By changing to the default theme it displayed the options window correctly and I could change my download destination. After that I changed back to my prefered theme. Thank you again!
