Firefox does not respect chosen download folder
Latest Firefox version (27.0.1) has probably introduced a bug. I have set standard download location to my secondary hard disk (D:\) and so far it has always worked, downloading my files there. However lately it is not working anymore: in the options it is still set like that, and so it shows the download dialog box, showing it will save to D:\ But when I click ok it saves to C:\Users\myName\Downloads

hello Ruskie, yes it's a general regression in firefox 27 that files won't download into a root drive. please try to create a subfolder (like D:\Downloads) and set this as default location for downloads...
also see bug #958899.
Oh Philipp thanks. I was looking to file a bug report but ended up on this support site instead. Thank you for your suggestion, but this workaround is not acceptable for me. I really do want to download everything in D's root folder, that's the way I roll. I will wait for a fix, calling Firefox names meanwhile. ;)
