Description of problem: It seems that Firefox is not using the ~/Download directory for storing its downloads. The default location is still ~/Desktop. Although one can easily change the settings in Firefox, isn't it more reasonable if all applications made use of the ~/Download directory by default when one is available? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-2.0.0.3-4.fc7 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox. 2. Click on any downloadable link, and select the 'save to disk' option. Actual results: The file gets downloaded in ~/Desktop by default. Expected results: One would the default download location to be ~/Download. Additional info: n.a.
No. I had this discussion a few years ago with our usability guys Seth and Bryan. We want this to be Desktop. I don't know who came up with ~/Download but it wasn't me. That should be removed IMHO.
