When uploading files (Email attachments etc), the default folder in the Open dialog is Desktop.

How can I set a different default folder?

Thank you.

Desktop Is Not The Default Upload Folder In Your Firefox, If You Are Seeing The Desktop Folder While While Trying To Upload Something it just means that, The Last file Upload is From The desktop. :)
