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/977944

There 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.

    Hi angiesview,

    The Downloader is you inviting them to save the installation file to a directory. By default, this is the "Downloads" folder in your user account.

    You can save the file to your "Desktop" for easy access and once the download is complete, you can run the setup.exe file to begin the installation.

    Kind regards

  • Firefox 20.0.1 - option 'Always ask where to save the files' not 'Downloads' folder not going.

    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

  • Latest FF worm fails to ask where to download despite the selection tab ToolsOptionsGeneral ask

    Hi all:
    Read other solutions and they do not work on my laptop Win8Pro 64-bit. Seemed to have worked a few days ago. Is an update thru in the last 48 hours?

    As a reminder, under the ToolsOptionsGeneral I already selected (ticked) him always ask me where to save this box. I restarted 3 times.

    I went in: config and edit both files in before recommended solutions.

    Nothing works. So where can I download a version more old asap? Thank you

    You can check for problems with preferences.

    Rename or remove the file prefs.js and possible numbered prefs-# .js and a user.js file possible to reset all default prefs.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.
