I use download manager. I hit yes when asked if I wanted to make the folder shown as the default for future downloads of that type. I did not mean to do that. How can I change the default folder?

Hi belladonna82,

You should take a look at the Where to find and manage downloaded files in Firefox and Startup, home page, tabs, and download settings Knowledge Base articles. They will give you all the details you need. Unless you are talking about the default action and not the actual download folder? If so, you should look at Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files.

Hopefully this helps!

Hi Matt_G,

Thank you so much. After changing the action to "ask me every time" in the Options window - Applications panel, I am able to save where I want to in one step. Life with Firefox is great!

Thanks again, Bella
