In my previous version of Firefox when I selected "Save file" when I'm downloading, I could designate the folder for the file. This version automatically saves to the Download folder and then I have to go move it to the right place. Can I change this setting?

Hi.

All you need to do is go up to the top and select "Tools" then "Options"

From there the first tab is General you should see "Downloads"

Tick the option "Always ask where to save files"

Kind Regards
