Change Firefox Download Location - Quick & Easy Guide

Customizing Firefox Download Locations

Many users have a preference for where downloaded files are saved. While some, like myself, favor direct saving to the desktop, others prefer a dedicated downloads folder or a subdirectory within their Documents directory.

Fortunately, modifying this setting within Firefox is a straightforward process.

Accessing Download Settings

Begin by opening the Firefox settings menu. Navigate to Tools, then select Options. The Downloads section is conveniently located on the initial screen.

From here, you can easily specify a new folder for your downloads by clicking the Browse button.

Additional Download Options

Firefox also provides further customization options.

• You can configure Firefox to always prompt you for a save location for each file.
• The Downloads window, which can be disruptive for some, can be disabled.

Personally, I always disable the Downloads window upon every Firefox installation.
