Change download location to external storage?

I have installed latest Firefox on Android 4.4 KitKat and want to change the download location from internal storage to the SD-card. I have followed this procedure:
1) Change value of browser.download.folderList to 2
2) Create new string entry with the name browser.download.dir and the correct path as value
3) Close Firefox completely and restart Android
However, this do not work as Firefox still save files in the Download folder on internal storage.
What can I do to solve this problem?

Hi,
Very good question! I'm not sure there is that option, so I've filed a bug for you:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1096638
Hopefully the FIrefox developers can add it in the future.
Hope this helps,

Change download location

I just purchased a new memorey card for my android, but I don't know how to change the location from my phone to the external memory card. it is going to th e default, but my actual phone storage is full. can you help me please? I have been searching online for 2 days, and still can't figure it out.

I am sorry I am soo not used to this kind of stuff. I am using HTC vivid, and address bar meaning once Firefox is open? Ad if now it says sdcard, but its full. I want them to go to external sd card (removable one). And also do I need to create new folders? If I am downloading videos from Firefox add on flash video downloader. And just want them to be organized on the removable storage card. Again I am sorry for being so slow, I just don't understand these kind of things. But also, thank you so much for assisting me with this!

I can't change Download Location, or Save pages/images..."Browse" dialog will not show.

If I go into Options, and click "Browse" to change the Download location, nothing happens. I have used Firefox for many years and have never had this problem. I just did a clean install of Win7 (wiped entire HDD), and the problem started when I installed Firefox this time.
I can also NOT "Save Page..." or "Save Image As..."....basically anything that requires a Browse dialog window does not work, it just stalls and nothing happens.
I read another report of this, and the only solution that was given was to Reset Firefox. I did that, to no effect. I also saw something about migrating profiles, etc....I did not import anything into Firefox when I installed, nor do I have more than one user account in Windows. It's a really odd problem, but unfortunately I can't use Firefox if I can't save things. I've tried browse dialogs in other applications and I have no problems there.
Thanks for any assistance! Just to re-iterate, this is a completely clean install of Firefox and Win7...I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox before posting here.

I hope this helps-
Go to the option menu and under the General tab, chose "ask me where to save files" and then restart Firefox in safe mode.
If this doesn't work,check for updates.

How do I change download location fron phone memory to external SDCard?

I dont want downloads to save on device memory because it is small (1.5 Gb) compared to external SDCard (32 Gb). Firefox does not give any option to change location of download.

1. Create the Donwload Folder on the external SD card:
/mnt/extSdCard/Download ( = /storage/extSdCard/Download)
2. Type '''about:config''' in URL
Create the String value variable '''''browser.download.dir''''' and assign the value of the folder on step 1. It is very important to use the proper caps, so check your folder name and put it here correctly.
3. Modify the variable '''browser.download.foldelist '''and set it to '''2'''.
Close Firefox and close it from background also.

Changing download file location in Safari

I want to change the download file location of my safari from the 'default downloads' into my external hard drive. But whenever I tried to change the download location, my external hard drive won't show up under option 'devices' even though it is inserted properly to its usb port. I also have it formatted to exFAT. Previoiusly, I was able to change the download file locations of my Safari to my different external hard drives but now Safari won't let me.
Here's a pic of how I tried to change the file location. But like I said, my external hard drive won't show up in the device option Help please?

Safari>preferences>General>Change Download location>Other
Do you ever see your external drive in the sidebar of Finder?

How do I set download location to sd card? on galaxy s3

4.1.2

Hey garyduff12!
To Waka_Flocka_Flame: I don't mean to take over this post but I feel this way would be easier than changing/making new folders in directories.
garyduff12: Here is my way to change download location to your SD card. Press ALT click Options>and check the box that says '''Always ask me where to save files''' then click OK. You have to point your saved file to your SD card location then when you want to save another file, it should actually point to the SD card again as long as it is plugged in.
Thanks!

How do I change the location of my downloads?

Hi there,
I've recently changed the location of my music to external device but as i download it saves onto my laptop then i spend a lot of time transferring to external harddrive then back into itunes. is there a way to just enable me to download into a folder on my external hardrive?
Cheers Boffins.

Hi
If you're referring to downloads via Safari, connect your external drive to your laptop, then go back to Safari. There, open Safari Preferences>General panel. There, click on the drop down menu next to "save download files to", select "other" and navigate to your external location and click on "select".
Important your external is connected to the laptop when you are downloading a file, otherwise, Safari may hang as it looks for the external location.

I want to change screenshot location from my Solid State hard drive with OSX on it, to my 2nd storage hard drive, how do I do this?
I am aware of "defaults write com.apple.screencapture *location*" but I want to change the location to my 2nd drive which doesn't have OSX on it... everytime I've tried to insert MacintoshHD2 in there it just doesn't work... any tips?

I'm having the same problem. I've entered the following path in terminal:
"defaults write.com.apple.screencapture location /Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/[my username]/Downloads"
But it's not working. It keeps going to the SSD Downloads folder.
What am I doing wrong?

Need help changing the default download location in Firefox3.6.16

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [/questions/808920]</blockquote> 
I have been having default download location problem for over a year now and no one has been able to offer a solution so if you can figure this out, well, I can't say enough good about you.
Here's my problem. I'm an online math instructor for a college. I use Firefox 3.6.16, and have also tried the latest version. Os is Vista. Students email me Microsoft Word 2007 documents every day as attachments to email. I click on the documents, make corrections and when I go to save their document to my computer, the default always wants to save it in a temp file! I read where Firefox is supposed to default save in the desktop (which is where I want it to default to, but that never happens). When the save defaults to the temp file, I have to scroll up numerous files and find the desktop option and click it to save it on the desktop. This is not a huge deal until you have to do it for 90 students and then it becomes time consuming.
Numerous times I have followed the standard process of (TOOLS>OPTIONS>SAVE FILES TO DESKTOP) within Firefox but that never works. I've reinstalled Firefox, that doesn't work. I've also tried to change the "Save Options" settings within Word 2007 and that hasn't solved the problem either. Please advise if you have a solution. Thanks in advance!

HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent? I have an older machine with Windows XP.

I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
Try this:
Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
Close and shut down the computer.
The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
What happens, which step do you have problems with?

No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.
