Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set download folder in preferences to something other than your desktop. 2. Open a file -- such as a Microsoft Word document or PDF -- that will cause a helper app to open. Actual Results: File is saved on desktop instead of the download folder that is specified in the preferences. Expected Results: File should be saved in downloads folder. (Altho, you could make the argument since you are viewing the file in a helper app, it should go in a temp folder.)

I see the same problem (using Firefox 2.0, MacOS 10.3).

Hiro, does that mean it will be fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.1? Looks like this also affects TB http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=464799

Also In Firefox 2.0.0.3 can you fix it?

Anyone works on this bug? It's a big bug for me

I believe this is now resolved fixed, although there is still some ongoing discussion related to download prefs in bug 394910.
