From my email, how do I save a file to a specific folder on my computer. It keeps saving it in the downloads within Firefox.

I have a quickbooks back-up file from my CPA in my email which I need to save to a folder in mydocuments which Quickbooks can then open. Firefox saves it to a downloads folder and I never get the option to save it somewhere else on my computer. I can't figure out where the downloads file is on the computer.

{Ctrl + J} to open the Downloads window, right-click any of the files in there and select Open Containing Folder to open the folder that each of your downloaded files was placed in.

Tools > Options > General - under the Downloads section, you can check-mark "Always ask me where to save files" to get a dialog box from Windows Explorer file management for saving files manually.

The "Save files to" box shows the folder that Firefox uses to download file into when that other pref isn't selected.

You can also use "Save Link As..." if you right-click a hyperlink that you want to download (won't work where JavaScript is used to download files).
