Mozilla Firefox - Misc - Save Files to a Download Folder, not the Desktop

SUMMARY: Force Mozilla Firefox to save downloaded files to a folder of your choosing.

1. First, either find or create the folder where you want downloads to be stored.

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.



Saving all files downloaded via Firefox to the C:\DOCS folder




6. When done, click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close them.
