14 Firefox forgets where to save downloads
Firefox version: 14.0.1
O/s: Windows XP Edition family version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
When I try to record a series of image files on the same site in a destination directory using a right click > Save Image under..., frequently (but at random intervals) Firefox forgets where the record of the previous file.
I can correctly save multiple files in the expected folder, then find that the Save As dialog box has forgotten the target folder. Sometimes, it restores the default download folder, but sometimes, it comes in a folder that I used for downloads (on a different Web site) days. It can then return to a different folder, I also used for downloads (from a third party site), also days ago.
Occasionally, I navigate to the folder target for each of a succession of downloaded files, then Firefox starts to remember where files go - don't forget again, later in the series. This means that I have to pay attention to what makes Firefox and wasting time check which folder he thinks is the target, rather than to focus on the task, I'm in show.
I don't remember meeting this stupid behavior and worse in previous versions of Firefox. So far, I noticed only when you use the right click > Save Image under... but cannot download some he did not appear with other methods.
The current versions of Firefox don't forget not the directory download, based on the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder can be selected if he has not selected a folder for this server before download.
You can disable this feature to not forget the download via the prefs directory Boolean browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite on the topic: config page.
The pref browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite does not exist by default (it's a hidden pref), you will need to create it.
Create a new pref Boolean with the name browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite and set it to false.
You may need to clear the "Site preferences" via clear recent history to delete already stored data.

What happened to 31 Firefox and where can I download it?
I did a factory reset on my computer today, and when I went to download Firefox 31, I couldn't find using this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox
I always download this special version and simply has no more than a week and a half.

What I do in this page to download Firefox 31? What should I click?
If you go to this page, you can download a copy of Firefox 31.0. To do this, you must click the folder for your operating system. You're on Windows, so you have to click on the
win32
folder. From there, you must select the language that you want to download Firefox in. Once you do this, download the executable installer without the word "stub" in the title. -
Where to save downloaded models?
Hi people, I got a set of templates for Dreamweaver CS3. Where should I save them so they will be accessible (and previously viewable) when go to file/new?
Thanks in advance,
JO
The advice of John are on site.
Are you received the 'models', plain old html files vanila, or have they already been created as models of DW, because they already understand the editable and non-editable regions and the file extension ends with tpl.
If they are already the TPL files, and then follow the advice of John set up.
If they are NOT currently TPL files, you wil need to open the document html of the page and save the page as a template
FILE > save as template
Know that you must always define a site DW pointing to the file that keeps all your model files. If you have more than one package of model - in other words: will create several models - then you need to separate the file, so that you have different folders containing all the separate files for each 'package'... If that makes sense:
Each newly created template is saved in it's own separate models folder in the root of the tree of your files.
These can help when it comes to working with models:

When you start a download you can change the disc, folder and name of the download file
as you wish. So, no matter what the default value is fixed you can modify as you wish. Notice the
the path back to the top when you start a download.You can change the default value.
Set the Internet Explorer default download path.

How to fix: downloads of Firefox is set on "ask me where to save files" permanently
I recently reformatted my computer Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. It is also the same OS that I used until I formatted it. I installed the latest version of Firefox as usual. But after a few days of use, I noticed that whenever I am downloading something or save an image he'll always ask me to the place where to save my files.
Even if I repeatedly put in a specific directory. I already searched this thread:
http://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/977944There are some posts that I don't understand, but I have tried the reset of the Director of downloads and last directory. I also tried to make a new user, but nothing is done, I was not yet successful. I have not tried to uninstall firefox and put it back, because I want to avoid this at any price, because I think that it's a hassle for all my work recently marked with a bookmark and all my emails and details of work in the browser.
Any idea on what to do to solve this problem? It is not a very big problem, but if you think about it, it will be sometimes annoying in the future.
Anyone experienced this before?
P.S. I don't have this problem until I formatted my computer.
You seem to have some download extensions installed.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

Firefox 20.0.1 on WinXP SP3.
Previously, when I always selected "ask where to save files" Firefox would start from the default download folder - it I had shortcuts to locations which usually to record on.
Now Firefox insists on starting from the root of C: - and I don't know how to change this behavior.
I would like it to start from the default download folder it used to. This is the place where I got these shortcuts and I do NOT wish to place these shortcuts to the root of C:.
go to Subject: config find (or copy/paste form here) browser.download.folderList right-click on it, select modify and change the value to 2. Release of firefox, restart it and check again.
Thank you
