seen with Windows and Mac Firefox 0.9+ branch builds - Go to Tools | Options | Downloads - Select the radio button for Save all files to this folder. - In the menu for that item, select My Downloads or Select other and choose a folder in the file picker. - Click OK (or hit Enter/Return) to save and close Preferences. - Bring up the context menu for a link on a page and select "Save Link As..." tested results: The Save as dialog appears with the desktop selected as the save location. Expected results: The download is automatically saved in the preference set folder. Could this be related to 178227? The difference here is that we're not manually trying to input/paste in the selection field.

note: At the bottom of the downloads manager, "All files downloaded to:" reflects the pref set folder.

also note: drag and drop a link into the download manager works as expected. changing Summary to better describe the behavior

The current behavior is intentional, but I hate it. See bug 244961 and bug 232702.

Not a "blocker"

would be good to get for 1.0 but need to minus to focus on higher priority bugs. renominate if a fix appears.

This bug also occurs when saving an image. The default download location is not the same default download location set in prefs.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change

Since this can still be reproduced on nightlies, should Version be changed to Trunk?

I am seeing the desired behavior of "The download is automatically saved in the preference set folder” in a build from the trunk changeset 30234:2221d3661702 (Mon Jul 13 13:35:55 2009 -0700). Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090713 Minefield/3.6a1pre Can anyone else confirm this?

Me too. Changing the folder where the link should be downloaded modifies the folder that is open when the dialog pops up. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
