Not possible to download and configure download
Hello, I redirect the My Documents folder on a server where user can not write (root folder of the department). When Firefox starts it search the download folder and try to create it. After that it's not possible to download something and it's not possible to change the configuration with the UI. I have create a user.js and configure the browser.download.dir parameter. If i have a look with about:config, i can see the parameter of the user.js file, but it's anyway impossible to download something.
The problem is solve if Firefox can access one time the download folder on the server. But it's not a solution for me.
Someone have an idea? François

browser.download.dir - A local folder the user may have selected for downloaded files to be saved. Migration of other browser settings may also set this path. This folder is enabled when browser.download.folderList equals 2.
Default setting is 1 - but I don't think that is going to solve your problem, as it is for a local folder.
My advice is to set browser.download.useDownloadDir to false to have Firefox always ask you where you want to save downloads.
If i set browser.download.useDownloadDir to false, the dialogbox appears before download but the file is not download. Normally you have a box where you can choice the destination, in this case this one doesn't appear.
You can reproduce the problem for a new user on a workstation by changing the registry key '[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "Personal"="a place where the user can not write"'
No one to help me??
