2. From Firefox, click "Tools" - "Options".

3. When the "Options" dialog box appears, click the "Main" button.

4. Underneath "Downloads", click the radio button "Save files to".

5. Click the "Browse" button, and then when the "Browse for folder" dialog box appears, choose the folder you found or created in step 1.
