Details

The new "print to file" dialog always starts at the home directory - regardless of where the last "print to file" went. This is extremely inconvenient (e.g. if one wants to print a bunch of files into a single directory) and goes against the original Netscape's great philosophy of "keep each dialog in the same state where it was last time". In fact, ideally, the print dialog should also default to "print to file" if that's what was used last time around.
Plus, the dialog requires one to select the destination folder in the folder above ... Very inconvenient. IMO, the same dialog should allow setting the file name - just like the "Save message as ..." dialog.
Is this really only Firefox? Not "Platform" or something? I encountered it in Thunderbird (3 RC1) ...
