I need to change the distination folder for my downloads, please help!
Thank you Firefox Folks,
I have a problem with the default save-to Destination File on the newest Firefox browser 5.0.
The files I download while I'm using your browser (stuff like utilities files I download to try, so .exe files) are currently going to My Documents/Downloads and that folder is EA Games Sims3 default downloads in that file, it is their default file. When the files default to there, it is a mess for my Sims3 game and slows it down.
IE has abandoned(?) my WindowsXP Pro/Media Edition OS it seems, and not even my Youtube will load on IE 8.0.6001.187021C. I am just trying to get happy over Firefox and have a way that I can control where the downloads go to at the time of download so they don't end up in my Sims3 Game file. Thanks, TerryfromCO

Do you mean that you want to save your files where you want them? If so, then I would go to your Menu bar or the orange Firefox tab. If you are using the Menu bar, go to Tools and click on Options (it's at the bottom). A window will pop up. Under the general tab, click "Always ask me where to save files". If you have the orange Firefox tab, click it and go to the second column. Mouse over Options and click on the first thing you see, which should read Options. Then a window will pop up. Make sure you are under the General tab and click "Always ask me where to save files" (it is the same as using the Menu bar). Or, the option above that is to choose a folder you'd like to save all your files in.
Hope this helps!

See the Download settings in Tools > Options > General > Downloads
"Save Files to" "Always ask me where to save every file"
