Firefox unexpectedly changes download folder

After upgrade to FF7.0.1 (on Win7 Pro-64) I sometimes see a strange behaviour: while downloading a couple of files to the same folder, FF does occasionally change to another download folder - without request.
I.e. I save files to folder A, suddenly FF offers me folder B. After choosing back to A, a couple of files later FF offers folder G, and so on.
While working 10 - 12 hours with my PC, this happens once or twice a day. It doesn't depend on the file's format, happens with docs, videos, pics, pdfs, zips and other formats.

Since 6 months, while using and upgrading releases (from FF7 up to currently FF12.0, on Win7 prof 64) that behaviour "unexpectedly changes download folder" still shows up. Sometimes after the 2nd or 3rd file, sometimes not until the 10th ... numbers are changing.
So, former ideas "mime types could be a reason" won't work, because - in my case - the mime types of the downloaded files (i.e. series of pics from same address, series of movies from same address of my internet video recorder save.tv) are always the same (proved!)
Result: there is still work to do - good luck!

Firefox 31.00 DOWNLOADS folder location has moved.

Firefox 31.00 DOWNLOADS folder location has moved.
I can no longer find the files I download using my Firefox browser.
(Firefox 31.00 - updated as of 2014_0812.)
This is my process:
Firefox 31.00 Menu Bar:
Click -> TOOLS
Click -> DOWNLOADS
This opens up: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.xul
The files I download using Firefox 31.00 are not at this (chrome) location.
What’s up with that?
Is there a way to revert to my former setting where clicking on Firefox 31.00 menu button labeled DOWNLOADS opened up my Windows 8.1 DOWNLOADS folder. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

A question for you ...
Are you able to view the Download prompt window when you begin to download a file?
The reason being, is that I am having a download issue within Firefox in which I've been unable to download most any file that I select. The exception would be .ZIP files. Those I can download (and in the process, view the Download prompt window).
I've noticed that I cannot download most other files ... mainly .EXE files and others (in which the Download prompt window fails to even appear).
I initally thought that possibly the downloaded files were being redirected elsewhere within my C drive, but that appears not to be the case.
Let me know if you've experienced a similar issue.
Anyway, I do hope that your issue is resolved in due time.
Take care,

Having trouble with downloads; cannot change downloads folder; items save to downloads folder but I cannot open them;it save all downloads as a .part file

I cannot download any attachments. I get the pop up message to save it, I save it but it saves all attachments as a .part file which cannot be opened (or it just opens in Word even when it is a music/sound file.
Also, I tried to change the folder I download to and it will not let me. I click "choose" in the downloads prefs area but it does not let me change it. the button is unresponsive.

Lion hides the Library directory, but there are instructions on this page that describe how to make it visible.
* http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
In Snow Leopard, the Firefox profile is in User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<randomname>.default. I am assuming that the path has not changed in Lion.
Finding something in the Library used to be easy before Apple decided that Spotlight should no longer access it, so I have taken to using Easyfind instead. If the path to the profile has changed in Lion, you could still find it by searching for cookies.sqlite, but you cannot use Spotlight for that. Easyfind is much more versatile anyway.

How to keep Firefox from changing download designations

Here's the problem with latest Firefoxes (15-17) as well as Palemoon:
Create three folders on your desktop - name them A, B and C. Now open up Firefox. Go to webpages that have multiple images to download. Click open the images from the various webpages while holding down the Ctrl key.. You will now have multiple tabs of the various images. Now open each tab with an image, right click the image, save as a random name and make the download designation folder A. Do this for all tab images.
Now go back to the first tab image, right click the image, save as a random name and make the download designation folder B. Continue doing this for remaining tab images. As soon as you attempt to download an image from a different webpage, Firefox will change the download designation to folder A.
Typically when you set a download designation in a browser, the designation does not change unless you manually change it. Firefox will keep changing the download folder for each new webpage with images.
Now do the same as the last paragraph but save the images to folder C. As soon as you get to an image from different webpage, Firefox will (I do not see why it is doing it) change the download folder to either A or B, but not C.

You can clear the "Site Preferences" via Clear Recent History to remove already stored data.
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" also clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
You can delete the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Profile Folder to only remove settings stored in this file and keep the exceptions that are stored in permissions.sqlite.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Change download folder

How can I change the destination of files I download from the internet? I don't necessarily want them going to the "Donloads" folder. I want to have a choice, or specify a different folder altogether. Windows users have this option, I have to believe us Mac users do to. Thanks for whatever help I can get!

Sorry I'm new to MAC. These replies seem to be just showing how you can change the default.
I receive many files a day from customers. I need to select the folder where I put the file each time.
I don't want to change the default download folder or create a preset list of Favourites where I can download.
Any list would be too long to be practical.
On Windows if I set my browser to always ask me for each download then I get an explorer browse window.
I can browse to any existing folder on my drive or even create a new subfolder for the download on the fly.
At the moment (rather absurdly) I'm running Chrome in Windows in Parallels so that I can do this.
Surely there must be a way to browse for the folder natively in OS X?

Mesh enabling Downloads folder stopd Firefox opening it?

I have my Dowloads folder sync'd to all my other computers using Microsoft's Mesh system. When I got a new computer, downloading a file would produce the downloads list and allow me to run prog or open containing folder. Once I pointed downloads to a Live Mesh folder (so I only have to download a file once) this all stopped working. The downloads box opens and the file starts downloading OK, if I am quick enough I can right click the downloading file and "open containing folder" but if not, the download finishes and then the file vanishes from the list (its still in the folder and been downloaded OK, just not easily accessible from Firefox download window??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Changed download folder to Mesh Live folder

Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
3. Clicking on the downloaded file
What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

How to (successfully) change Mail Downloads folder?

Hi,
I've been trying to wrestle with my Mail Downloads folder location without success, so I thought I would ask.
I dislike having a separate "Mail Downloads" folder because stuff accumulates endlessly there. The default Mail Downloads is at ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads. Here's what I have tried:
The obvious: change "Downloads folder" in Mail prefs. No matter what I choose, the files are still downloaded to the default folder.
I removed ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads and made it a symlink to my ~/Downloads folder (where I'd like to put everything). This causes opening attachments from Mail to hang (I have to save them first, and then open from the saved location). I get these messages in Console (in this example, trying to open an attachment named "Manual.pdf", and PID 56818 is the Mail app):
9/13/12 11:52:29.707 AM CoreServicesUIAgent[56818]: Quarantine resolution refused to pid 56809 because it is not allowed to read /Users/a10022/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads/Manual.pdf

9/13/12 11:52:30.221 AM sandboxd[56817]: ([56809]) Mail(56809) deny file-issue-extension /Users/a10022/Downloads/Manual.pdf
9/13/12 11:52:30.238 AM sandboxd[56817]: ([56809]) Mail(56809) deny file-issue-extension /Users/a10022/Downloads/Manual.pdf
9/13/12 11:52:30.253 AM sandboxd[56817]: ([56809]) Mail(56809) deny file-issue-extension /Users/a10022/Downloads/Manual.pdf
Any thoughts? The symlink trick was working fine in Lion and before, the trouble started with the upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Thanks,
--Diego

Hi,
I have spent quit some time on this and there is no decent option to do so. Mail is a buggy product since it ignores the default preferences. Old tricks with the symbolic link don't work. Most likely because Apple wants you to look at all the nice inline attachments in stead of treating them as a real attachment. Just like they do in their commercials.
I found some posts on how to move it to another disk but that was not my goal. So in the end, there was only one option left for me and that is to just make it a faourite folder in my finder so I can at least review it daily to clean it up.
Sorry for not having a desent fix but this works for me.
Good luck!

Prevent show 'select download folder' dialog when click export csv button in a flash-based website

I want to download csv file from a flash-based website. When i click the button with export icon, Firefox always pop up dialog box with title 'select download folder for ...'. I have set up default download folder and uncheck 'always ask me where to save files'. If i download from other websites (not a flash one) then the download automatically started without pop up folder selection dialog. I want to prevent firefox from showing download folder selection dialog because i need to use it for web automation. by the way, i use ubuntu 12.04 with firefox 21.0. I have used flashgot extension but still no luck. Any suggestion about this?

I already have followed the instruction above, but still no luck. The dialog still appear. I think this is not a regular download link since it's made with flash. It's look like an export button which will force browser to pop up 'select folder location' dialog and when i click save then there is no download progress like usual, the file just saved automatically. I think the file itself is rendered when the flash website loaded, and then embeded into the web page. When i download, it didn't send any request, it just get the embeded file.

How can I stop the Downloads folder from constantly reappearing?

Every time I open or restart Firefox 9, the Downloads folder in My Documents keeps recreating itself. I have downloads set to always ask me where to go, and I have absolutely no need of a special Downloads folder. How can I get FF to stop creating this folder? Annoying to have to delete it every time - and I like FF to do what I tell it to.

See:
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474718 Bug 474718] – Empty "Downloads" folder should not be created when opening main page of options dialog with a custom download directory set
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649940 Bug 649940] – Opening the preferences dialog with the default settings active always creates the "Downloads" folder

BetterPrivacy changed destination Folder to removable! tried Reset FF to factory status without any sucess!

checking Plugins, I always get Flash player outdated! I discovered that Better Privacy Changed downloading folder to removable. How can I fix this problem? even setting FF several times to its factory setting is not helpful.

That's the latest version, and you can see above under Question Details - More System Details that it's available to websites.
Since I don't see any obvious issues, I suggest you perform a clean install of Flash Player as described below. It's admittedly tedious, but it's an effective cure-all for most Flash Player problems.
# From the following page, save the uninstaller somewhere handy, like the desktop.

#* [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_text_4 Direct downloads of Flash Player for Windows | Adobe Support]

My Option window in Firefox displays only partly. I can't change the download folder. 'Browse' is not showing. And the Advanced tab is not showing either

The Option Window in Firefox is incomplete. It only shows
General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security, Sync
The Advanced Tab is not showing and the Browse button to change download location is missing also.

If you are using an add-on theme switch to the default theme. If that isn't the source of your problem ....
Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

After having the Apple Store erase my HD, now I need authentication and password to move things from a downloads folder to another folder in Finder. WHY? And how can I change this?

I'm trying to move things from the downloads folder into a folder that is over there on the left in the sidebar. Every time I try to move something, I get this message and then I have to give my password. I didn't have to do that previously and I sure don't want to do it now, either. I've checked and checked and cannot find where I would go to change this setting. Does anyone know where I should look?
The Apple Store erased my HD on Friday and I had to restore from Time Machine. my OS is Mavericks and I'm on a MacBook Pro.

That has been like that since Firefox 3.0 was released in June 2008 - 7 major version releases thus far with it like that and the developers haven't changed it - so I wouldn't count on it.
When I want to save a duplicate bookmark, I just "grab" the website image in the Location Bar and drag it into the Bookmarks Sidebar, into the folder where I want it placed. On Windows and Linux, { Ctrl + B } opens the sidebar and then just drag.
